“Women M.E.A.N. Business promises to provide an incredibly empowering experience,” said Heather Bell, President & CEO of the Orange County Chamber of Commerce. “It brings together women at all stages of their careers to connect, share and grow. The conversations are real, the support is genuine and the takeaways are powerful. You leave feeling seen, inspired and ready to strategically take action on whatever comes next.”
The event offers a unique opportunity for women to connect, share experiences and gain valuable insights on leadership and personal growth. With networking, mentorship and engaging discussions, this experience is designed to inspire women to embrace their journey and unlock their full potential.
Keynote speaker Lori Pine, CEO of JOY, is a leadership coach and strategist who helps women lead with purpose and fulfillment. Her keynote, “Empowering Women to Find JOY So They Can Create a Legacy of Fulfillment,” will explore the internal narratives that shape how women move through their personal and professional lives and how shifting those stories can lead to greater confidence, courage and joy. Pine’s company, JOY, is a leadership coaching brand that helps women lead with purpose, fulfillment and authenticity.
“I focus on joy — the deep, sustaining kind that transforms how we lead, whether we’re guiding a team of one or 100,” said Pine. “I’ll explore the quiet narratives that shape our choices, our confidence and our clarity. When we learn to rewrite those stories, we unlock a more powerful and purposeful path forward.”
Pine said the theme “Embrace Your Journey” is a message many women need to hear. “Most women in business set their sights on a destination — the title, the promotion, the revenue goal. But when they arrive, many realize they’re still asking, ‘Is this it?’ The truth is, our joy doesn’t live at the finish line; it lives in the journey.”
Pine’s goal is for “every woman in the room to feel the power of connection, that when we lock arms and lift each other up, we create a ripple effect of courage, confidence and JOY. We rise higher together.”
In addition to the keynote, the event will feature roundtable discussions led by local business professionals, a structured mentorship opportunity for meaningful one-on-one guidance and networking sessions designed to build authentic relationships across industries. Businesses looking to be part of this empowering day can take advantage of sponsorship opportunities that offer meaningful visibility and connection. It’s a chance to align your brand with an event that celebrates the strength, ambition and collaboration of women in Orange County and beyond.
