Women in Business - Circles Not Ladders (A Salem Chamber Sub-Committee)

Circles, Not Ladders is the Salem Chamber’s fresh take on leadership and mentorship for women of all identities. Instead of climbing the corporate ladder alone, we’re building circles, spaces rooted in shared wisdom, real conversation, and cross-generational connection.

Our first gathering, “Dropping Knowledge, Picking Up Signals”, invites you into a dynamic conversation around one big question: What is mentorship? Through guided, small-group discussions, you’ll share leadership lessons, explore current challenges, and uncover the emerging patterns shaping how we lead today all in a safe and welcoming space where every voice matters.

Women across industries and leadership stages come together to exchange insight, tackle challenges, and grow together. No panels. No hierarchy. Just meaningful dialogue and mentorship that flows both ways.

Circles, Not Ladders welcomes all women-identifying individuals to join us as we build something powerful together. Bring a lunch, grab a coffee, and spend an hour connecting, listening, learning, and sharing in a space where every voice matters.
