75 enjoy networking night in IpswichIPSWICH -- The Chamber's newest initiative, Thrive, kicked off June 9 with a night of networking under the tent at the Hellenic Center.
As designed, women of all stages of their careers mingled and offered thoughts on how Thrive can present a diverse array of programs that will appeal to a broad group. Mary Anne Clancy, co-chair of the Thrive Planning Committee, noted that what makes Thrive so special is that much of the programming will come right from our own membership. "This initiative is about you. It is about all of the women in the Chamber and it’s actually about all of the women on the North Shore — no matter what stage of career you're in," said Clancy, senior vice president of marketing and communications for Institution for Savings. "What we want to do is put together an initiative where the conversation goes around in a circle. Instead of us telling people and educating people in one direction and letting them go, we want us all to educate each other. We want us all to work together and share the experience." The Thrive Steering Committee has surveyed members and will soon announce a full slate of programming. Special thanks to our generous sponsors who made the Ipswich kickoff event possible: TITLE SPONSORS:

Virginia Buckingham offers poignant message for kickoff
"My story is my own to do good with, if I can, and so is yours."
— Ginny Buckingham, author, "On My Watch" Listen to your own voice. Be your own hero. And go out of your way to be kind and compassionate. That was the takeaway from Virginia Buckingham — the head of MassPort overseeing Boston’s Logan International Airport on Sept. 11.
Buckingham shared her story of being made a scapegoat following the terrorist attacks in an appearance before a crowd of nearly 200 on Sept. 9 at the kickoff luncheon for THRIVE. Buckingham compared her life to sea glass — broken apart and not what it once was, but still beautiful and valuable. She says she hasn’t moved on from Sept. 11, but has managed, after much struggle and reflection, to move forward. A special thank you to our many sponsors who supported this luncheon, including: PLATINUM SPONSORS:
