BRADFORD, Pa. — The Bradford Area Chamber of Commerce and SheBe Marketing are partnering to bring local women together for SheBe Community Coffee: Women Building Business & Community on Tuesday, September 29 at 8:30 am at the Chamber office – 62 Main Street, Bradford. 

The informal morning gathering is being created as an opportunity for women entrepreneurs, small business owners, professionals, organizational leaders and mentors to connect, share experiences and talk about what women need to build and grow businesses in rural communities.

The 60- to 75-minute gathering will include everyday challenges women face in business and marketing, opportunities to learn from other women’s experiences, and areas where additional resources or stronger connections could make running and growing a business a little easier.

“One takeaway from the Women in Business Expo is that women in our community want opportunities to connect with other women who understand the realities of running a business.  Our audience really connected with Shelley’s talk on women and entrepreneurship,” stated Heidi Scrivo, President of the Bradford Area Chamber of Commerce. “

The event is also about listening. What participants share during the morning will help SheBe Marketing and the Chamber better understand what local women are looking for and may help shape future SheBe Community opportunities, including practical workshops, shared learning and additional opportunities to connect.

Shelley Jack, founder of SheBe Marketing, is a business strategist and speaker with more than 25 years of experience helping businesses, nonprofits, and community organizations strengthen their brands and create lasting impact.

No presentation. No prep. Just coffee, useful conversation and community.

SheBe Community Coffee is open to women entrepreneurs, business owners, professionals, organizational leaders, mentors and experienced or retired women leaders throughout the region.

The event will be held Tuesday, September 29, starting at 8:30 at the chamber office (62 Main Street). You don’t have to be a chamber member to participate.  RSVP is encouraged: email Heidi@bradfordchamber.com.
