Women Empowering Women Announces 2026 Events for Networking and Relationship Building

Women Empowering Women has announced multiple 2026 events focused on networking and relationship-building, and membership applications for 2026 are now available. Organizers say the program emphasizes activity-based social engagement to help women build connections and find support within the community.

One specific event is already scheduled: "March 19 – 'Networking with Purpose' with Sandy Smith, 11:30 AM–12:45 PM at Fairfield Inn." Annual membership dues remain $45 per person; the organization notes that "the fee does not cover the cost of meals or entrance fees for special events." The membership form includes an optional permission box for members who wish to have their contact information included in a potential member directory.

Local logistics are handled through the Jasper Chamber of Commerce. Applications and payments may be mailed or delivered to the Jasper Chamber at 302 West 6th Street, P.O. Box 307, Jasper, IN 47547-0307. One announcement repeats that "checks can be brought in person or mailed to the Jasper Chamber, located at 302 West 6th Street (P.O. Box 307) in Jasper." For more information, organizers advise: "For more information email chamber@jasperin.org or call 812-482-6866."

Leaders stress that relationship-building and personal growth are central to WEW’s mission. As one local writeup put it, "Throughout 2026, WEW members will have opportunities to explore common identity and values, introduce themselves and share experiences, and get to know fellow members in new ways." Organizers have encouraged current members to share membership information with co-workers and friends who may be interested in joining.

Readers should note there are other events with similar names on the calendar that are not connected to the Jasper-area group. The Greater Rochester Chamber is holding a separate "2026 Women Empowering Women Conference" on March 19 with a 9:00 AM–4:30 PM schedule at the Hyatt Regency Rochester and nearly 500 attendees expected. That conference lists an RSVP deadline of March 11 and a sponsorship contact of Susan George. Separately, Empowering Women in Industry plans "Empowering Women 2026" in New Orleans on September 30–October 1, a two-day industry event with in-person and virtual options.

For Dubois County residents, WEW’s local activities offer practical opportunities to expand professional networks and build peer support within the Jasper area. Interested women should obtain a membership form, consider the optional directory permission, and contact the Jasper Chamber at chamber@jasperin.org or 812-482-6866 for full 2026 scheduling, venue details, RSVP requirements, and any fees for individual events.
