(DAYTON, OH) – The Dayton Area Chamber of Commerce has named the 2025-26 cohort for the Empower leadership program. Empower blends professional business coaching with innovative curriculum and problem solving, designed exclusively for mid- to upper-level management women business leaders.
It guides participants as they identify their own leadership strengths, values, and goals, while empowering them to eliminate barriers to advancement. Cohort members are chosen from a cross-section of the community and represent the diversity of the region’s business and nonprofit women leaders.
In partnership with the program sponsor, Universal 1 Credit Union, the cohort began its experience September 25-26, with a retreat hosted at Hotel Versailles.
Throughout the next ten months, the cohort will participate in a series of leadership workshops, immersive day sessions, and personalized business coaching opportunities.
