International Women’s Day Leadership Awards Luncheon was held on International Women’s Day (IWD) March 8. IWD is a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women. The Sedona Chamber is proud to be able to honor past and present leading ladies of our community – from Sedona Schnebly our namesake known for her hospitality to a present-day woman business leader from greater Sedona who has left an indelible mark on her community over the past year. Show your support by using #WomenLeading and #IWD2023 in social media posts.
Thank you to all who attended our Inaugural International Women’s Day Leadership Awards Luncheon! Having a room full of community and leaders to celebrate such a historic day will make for another incredible event.
