The EmpowHER Women in Business Showcase was created to uplift and honor women by ensuring they are seen, supported, and empowered,” said Alicia Fitts, Co-Chair of the North Augusta Chamber of Commerce Women in Business.
“The theme, ‘Empowerment through Collaboration,’ reflects my belief that women can achieve more when they come together. Our diverse panel of speakers was thoughtfully chosen to openly share their wisdom, strategies, and experiences on how they navigate the challenges of leadership—especially the often ‘invisible workload’ that women manage every day.”
Panelists include:
- Francine Burroughs – Senior VP, Workforce Services & Talent Management, Savannah River Nuclear Solutions
- Tameka Allen – CIO, City of Augusta

Attendees will have the opportunity to network, connect with vendors, and explore resources to help them succeed in their personal and professional lives. The keynote speech, lunch, and panelist program will follow and conclude at 1:00 P.M.
