What is Butler County Women in Business??

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 own 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.

Join us!

The first-ever Butler County Women in Business Opening Gala will be May 3, 2025! We’d love for you to dress up and join us in creating a more powerful and stronger Butler County.

Together We are Stronger: Powerful Women Uniting Butler County

The evening will include a low-light dinner, drinks, dessert, a three-person panel of LOCAL professionals to learn from about best business practices and ask questions.
