                        Women’s Professional Development Luncheon

                        Wednesday, August 20, 2025
                        11:00 AM – 1:30 PM
                        Wilmington Convention Center

                        Join us for one of the Chamber’s most anticipated annual events—the Women’s Professional Development Luncheon. This event brings together more than 400 professional women from a variety of industries and business sizes. It’s a powerful opportunity for both individual growth and team-building, offering an energizing mix of networking and inspiration.

                        Keynote Speaker: Molly Grantham
                        Four-time Emmy-winning journalist and former prime-time anchor Molly Grantham will headline this year’s luncheon. Now a full-time motivational speaker and founder of the Bet On Yourself Summit, Molly is widely recognized for her dynamic presence, authenticity, and ability to connect with audiences in a meaningful way.

                        Keynote Presentation: The Juggle Is Real
                        Molly’s keynote is an interactive and empowering session built around a simple but impactful three-step process:

                        • Show up authentically
                        • Manage competing priorities
                        • Stay grounded through it all
                        Drawing from her own experience balancing a demanding career, travel, and raising three young children, Molly delivers a talk that’s both relatable and motivating. Her stories resonate with working parents and professionals alike—and always leave audiences feeling inspired, seen, and ready to take action.

                        What You’ll Take Away:
                        • Confidence in your personal leadership style
                        • Tools to create and protect your priorities
                        • Practical strategies for maximizing your potential without losing your sense of self
                        This is a can't-miss program for women’s groups, working professionals, and anyone striving to do it all without doing it alone.
