A vendor market and keynote luncheon for women in business comes to Great Wolf Lodge in Webster on Thursday, Sept. 10. Registration closes Thursday, Sept. 3.
The Clear Lake Area Chamber of Commerce is hosting the Women's Engagement Luncheon & Market, part of a new series the Chamber launched in 2026. The market runs from 10 to 11:30 a.m. at 1000 Great Wolf Way, followed by the luncheon program from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Dr. Rhonda Parmer, CEO of Leadership Executive Group, will deliver the keynote: "From Overwhelmed to Empowered: Strategies for Women Leaders to Stay Centered During the Holidays."

She was named a National Distinguished Principal and founded Leadership Executive Group in 2024.
On her firm's website, Parmer describes her coaching philosophy as helping executives lead with clarity and avoid burnout. Her framework, called the E.A.S.E. Model, focuses on improving team performance while preventing leadership exhaustion.
