The Maysville Area Chamber of Commerce proudly hosted its 4th Annual Women’s Leadership Summit on Tuesday, March 26, welcoming 200 women from across the region for a powerful day centered on storytelling, growth, and connection.

Guided by this year’s theme, “Pages of Possibility,” the summit invited participants to reflect on the stories that have shaped their personal and professional lives—while embracing the unwritten chapters still ahead. The day featured a dynamic mix of panel discussions, intentional conversations, and thought-provoking keynotes, each designed to spark reflection, fuel ambition, and celebrate the power of women leading with authenticity and purpose.

All featured speakers were remarkable local women who brought deep insight, lived experience, and powerful storytelling to the stage. Their voices and perspectives sparked meaningful dialogue and reminded attendees that leadership takes many forms—and all of them matter.

“The Women’s Leadership Summit continues to be one of the most impactful events we host each year,” said Kaci Foster, Executive Director of the Maysville Area Chamber of Commerce. “To see so many women come together to learn from each other, uplift one another, and walk away with renewed energy—it’s something really special.”

Rod Baker, Chair of the Chamber’s Board of Directors, also praised the event: “This summit is a testament to the strength and potential of women across our region. It’s not only an investment in individual growth—it’s an investment in the future of our communities and businesses. We’re proud to support it.”

The Chamber extends sincere thanks to CrossPoint Church for generously providing a welcoming and modern venue for the event, and to the many sponsors who made the day possible.
