Women in Business 2026: The Year of Courage

From Influence to Impact.

In 2025, we mastered the art of Influence, building our brands, expanding our networks, and finding our voices. In 2026, we take the next bold step.  

Courage is the fuel that turns potential into progress. This year, the Texas City–LaMarque Chamber’s Women in Business program is dedicated to the “The Power of

Courage”—empowering you to take bold action, lead with conviction, and create a lasting legacy in our community.

Join The Movement

The Courage to Invite

Influence taught us how to build a seat at the table; Courage gives us the boldness to pull out a chair for someone else. This year, we focus on the bravery required to sponsor, mentor, and uplift other women, ensuring that as we rise, our entire community rises with us.

The Courage to Lead

Influence created our sphere of impact; Courage pushes us to leverage it when the stakes are high. We are moving beyond "networking" to high-level advocacy, speaking up in the boardroom, taking calculated risks, and championing the unconventional ideas that drive innovation.

The Courage to Pursue Purpose

Influence helped us identify our mission; Courage gives us the fortitude to live it. This year is about shedding the fear of failure or judgment. We are aligning our professional actions with our deepest values to turn "purpose" from a conversation into a reality.

The Transformation

The Year of Courage is more than a theme, it is a call to action. We are transforming the understanding of influence into the application of leadership.  Whether you are an entrepreneur, an executive, or an emerging leader, this is your year to move with boldness and drive meaningful change.

Experience a year of growth, empowerment, and fierce community support.
