Bronx Chamber of Commerce - Join Us To Celebrate Women of Distinction

 

March 26, 2021 at 11:30am on Zoom (Register)   The Bronx Chamber of Commerce is once again awarding partial college scholarships to high-achieving female Bronx students as part of its annual Women’s History Month Women of Distinction event series, now in its 15th year! This year’s event -- themed Valiant Women of the Vote: We Will Not Be Silenced -- will honor Hazel N. Dukes, President of the NAACP New York State Conference. Meisha Ross Porter, Bronx Executive Superintendent and newly-appointed Chancellor of the NYC Department of Education, will serve as Keynote Speaker.     While we are disappointed to again not be able to gather in person to celebrate our honoree & scholarship recipients and recognize our Chamber member sponsors, we are thrilled to be able to award partial scholarship funds to more than 20 accomplished female students from high schools around the Bronx – a new record for our scholarship program!   Scholarships were made possible through the generosity of the following sponsors: Con Edison, Metro Optics, Ponce Bank, Sandra Erickson Real Estate, The Monroe Foundation, Woodlawn Cemetery, Simone Development, Manhattan Parking Group, Orange Bank & Trust, KZA Realty, Verizon, NYC Council Member Mark Gjonaj, and an anonymous Friend of the Chamber donor.   To join us as a sponsor, make a donation, or purchase an ad in the digital event journal (deadline is 3/16), please email events@bronxchamber.org    To register for the event (March 26 starting at 11:30am, on Zoom), please click HERE
