About the WILMA Luncheon

In honor of the Chamber’s commitment to investing in and developing women leaders, we hold a Women in Leadership and Management Awards Luncheon event each year to recognize and celebrate outstanding achievement in leadership.

Nominated by their peers, the Women in Leadership and Management Awardees are recognized for their high-level achievements of being executives and leaders who encourage, inspire, and mentor others to assume leadership positions within Clackamas County.
