The Lincoln Chamber of Commerce (www.lcoc.com) is excited to announce the expansion of its programming with RISE Lincoln and support from the JoAnn Martin Leadership Legacy Fund.

Beginning in 2023, RISE Lincoln will be a program of the Lincoln Chamber of Commerce, continuing as an incredible platform for women to connect, engage, learn, and grow in Lincoln. RISE was launched eight years ago by two respected businesswomen, Katie Zulkoski and AshLea Allberry, as a motivating series to connect the community of Lincoln’s business leaders.

Since its founding, RISE has united hundreds of women through networking, education, civic engagement, and personal coaching. The events will continue to feature empowering speakers and respected female leaders in the community, giving attendees the opportunity to learn from incredible executives and visionaries.

It is with great excitement that the Chamber also announces that the Women in Business and RISE programs will receive generous support from the JoAnn Martin Leadership Legacy Fund. This fund is a new endowment under the stewardship of the Lincoln Community Foundation, established in honor of one of Lincoln’s greatest business leaders, to support more women in Lincoln and position them to attain business and community leadership roles.

The first RISE event will be held in January 2023.

The Lincoln Chamber of Commerce is Lincoln’s leading business organization, representing member businesses across the community by providing advocacy and connections to help businesses grow and thrive in Lincoln. Learn more at www.lcoc.com.
