GREENVILLE — Greenville Business and Professional Women’s Club (BPW) members and guests will hear about a new career event for Women in STEM 2D from Darke County Chamber of Commerce President, Peggy Emerson, at their Feb. 10 meeting. A time will also be provided for networking.

Emerson joined the Chamber staff in November 2020. She was previously the Executive Director of the Chamber of Commerce in Paulding, Ohio, the Recruitment Team Lead for Girl Scouts of Western Ohio, and the Public Information Coordinator for the Allen Soil and Water Conservation District. “Obviously education and opportunities for career growth are my passion,” said Emerson. “I joined BPW because I wanted to have an impact on the community and connect with other women in our area.”

The meeting will be held at Jack’s Cabin (851 Martin Street, Greenville) at 6:30 p.m. and is hosted by the Young Careerist Committee with Gail Snyder, Chair, and committee members Desteni Mason, Pam Sharp, Lucinda Dowler, Deb Niekamp and Sarah Hall.

Vegetable soup, homemade french bread, and cinnamon churros will be provided for a cost of $15.
