Thrive Women in Business

THRIVE is a new Chamber initiative with a mission of empowering women on the North Shore to succeed both professionally and personally. THRIVE creates meaningful and inclusive opportunities through mentorship, networking, programming, education, inspiration and support. The vision differs from that of a typical women's business group and is not designed to gain leads or market one's business. Rather, THRIVE is built around the spirit of both professional and personal development and accomplishment. We hope you will join us to THRIVE together.

Energy abounds at THRIVE events

75 enjoy networking night in Ipswich

IPSWICH -- 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:
