Yesterday morning, the Vegas Chamber's Executive Women’s Council hosted a sold-out gathering in celebration of International Women’s Day, bringing together a powerful network of female leaders. Attendees heard an inspiring conversation on Setbacks & Comebacks with World Champion athlete Marion Jones, highlighting resilience and growth. Special recognition was given to Susan Hitch, CFO of Circa Resort & Casino, for her leadership and contributions, and to Kristi Staab, EMBA for securing the keynote speaker. Gina Bongiovi, NACD.DC (dedicated Vegas Chamber leader) and Danna Jarvis (Executive Director of Operations at Hightower Las Vegas and Chairwoman of the Executive Women’s Council) also shared remarks on the importance of fostering women’s leadership. This event would not have been possible without the generous support of sponsors, including Presenting Sponsor Howard Hughes and Platinum Sponsor UNLV Lee Business School Executive MBA program, along with Gold Sponsors Bank of Nevada, Cragin & Pike, Hightower Las Vegas, the Vegas Chamber’s Leadership Foundation, and NV Energy. Thank you to Circa Las Vegas Resort & Casino for hosting this inspiring morning of connection and celebration.

Washington, D.C. - Vegas Chamber President & CEO Mary Beth Sewald and Congressman Jon C. Porter (ret) delivered a letter to the Committee on Education and the Workforce, reinforcing our commitment to strengthening the Workforce Innovation & Opportunity Act (WIOA) and improving outcomes for Nevada’s workforce. The Vegas Chamber was the first chamber in the nation to host an American Job Center, ensuring that WIOA funds go directly to supporting businesses and job seekers instead of operational expenses. With 27 American Job Centers in Southern Nevada embedded in libraries, colleges, and community centers, over $1.1 million is redirected toward workforce training instead of facility costs. "Strengthening WIOA means improving outcomes for America's workforce. These investments must align with local economic needs and create sustainable career pathways," said Sewald. We continue to advocate for policy solutions that support businesses, job seekers, and Nevada’s economic growth. #VegasChamber #WorkforceDevelopment #WIOA #BusinessAdvocacy #EconomicGrowth
