OCEAN CITY - On March 7, 2025, on the eve of International Women’s Day, the Cape May County Chamber of Commerce proudly celebrated the 20th anniversary of our Women in Business Conference at The Flanders Hotel.
The event was nothing short of inspiring as we heard from incredible women leading the way in their respective fields. Our keynote speakers — Chief Katherine Madden of the North Wildwood Police Department, Maria Grande, Personal Power Speaker, and Christine Winn, PhD., FACHE of Cooper University Health Care — shared powerful insights and stories of perseverance and success.
Our engaging panel discussion, “Mentorship Matters”, was skillfully moderated by Marifrances O’Neill of OceanFirst Bank and featured accomplished leaders: Rita Rothberg, Cape May County Clerk, Debbie Bass, Cape May County Tourism and Nancy Cleaver Bilderback, Crest Savings Bank Board of Directors, who all shared the importance of mentoring throughout their careers.
We closed the day with an empowering talk from Priscilla Loomis — Olympian, motivational speaker, and entrepreneur — who left us feeling motivated and ready to take on new challenges.
A heartfelt thank you to all our speakers, panelists, and attendees for making this milestone event unforgettable.
Thank you to all of our sponsors for making this year a huge success:
