Woman’s Department: Over 100 Years of Civic Engagement

For over 100 years, the El Paso Chamber’s Woman’s Department has been a driving force in community engagement and leadership. At its recent annual luncheon, members reflected on another year of growth, service, and meaningful initiatives that continue to shape the region.

This year’s event honored longtime members, including Ann Niethamer, recognized for 50 years of dedication. The luncheon also celebrated the department’s expanding membership, student scholarships, community donations, and partnerships that support local businesses and civic projects.

As part of the El Paso Chamber, the Woman’s Department plays a vital role in strengthening economic and workforce development while fostering leadership and collaboration. With the installation of new officers for 2025-2026, the department remains committed to empowering women and making a lasting impact in El Paso.
