Description

Join us for this series of fireside chats at Innovate Newport with a local woman of distinction (entrepreneur, businesswoman, elected official, community leader, or author) and the Chamber President. Guests will hear a 20-30-minute conversation and have the opportunity to ask questions of the guest while enjoying a continental breakfast.
