Butler County Women in Business
Whether you're an entrepreneur, professional, leader, or community supporter, your voice matters. Let’s work together to celebrate and elevate women in our community!
Vision:
Empowering women to support each other's growth and success by fostering collaboration and leadership. Creating a community where women uplift one another, driving positive change, and building a stronger Butler County.
Misson:
Uniting the women of Butler County through shared education, recognition, and networking.
Founded in 2024 by Paige McDaniel and Nikole Babb, the Butler County Women in Business is an organization affiliated with the El Dorado Chamber of Commerce. A few leaders in the community yearned for when El Dorado hosted their Women in Business conference but we had a bigger idea. Why not revive it and include the entire county?
Bringing together Butler County
Sometimes an outsider’s perspective or ideas are just what you need. El Dorado, Augusta, Andover, and the surrounding towns in Butler County all have unique strengths and weaknesses. This is your chance to highlight those strengths and ask for advice on the weaknesses. If we can network, collaborate, and share resources, we can create a more successful business community and overall higher quality of life for Butler County.
Networking, education, and celebration
The Butler County Women in Business aims to provide three major outlets for business owners, the workforce, and professionals:
- Networking opportunities: We aim to provide a safe, welcoming, and enjoyable space for all business professionals of all levels to benefit from. This will often include dinner/lunch, drinks, and dedicated time to meeting fellow attendees.
- Educational seminars: Through the opening gala and future conference, the Butler County Women in Business will bring facilitators in to conduct short seminars on best business, personal, and other seminars.
- Celebrating our community: Of course a conference can’t be complete without recognition of those within our communities! Next year we will begin to nominate and vote on awards that will be given out at each conference.
