BACKGROUND

About

Shantera Chatman founded the Annual Women's Empowerment Conference in 2008 after volunteering for over a year at a local women's shelter. The attendees of her Assertiveness class asked her to consider having a conference so they could continue hearing her down-to-earth message and bring their friends. Before she knew it, the conference had become a movement that provided women with resources to enhance every aspect of their lives. Once Shantera realized how strong the empowerment message was to women in the community, she took steps to carry the message of empowerment beyond the conference to women throughout the year with seminars, inspiring emails, speaking engagements and now scholarships and publications.

The Chatman Women’s Foundation is an organization of community leaders who come together for professional and personal development of women and our society as a whole.  The premise of the TCWF stems from the idea that the synergy of society is a direct result of the overall health and wealth of the woman.  TCWF seeks to foster a networking environment fit for personal and professional growth.  Women everywhere are building strong businesses, going back to school and raising their families with little to no help.  We are here to help.  We encourage, empower and stand with women that want more.  More for themselves and more for their families. Every year the TCWF mentors and teaches professionals and non-professionals alike through enrichment seminars and networking events.

The TCWF Awards Dinner and Fundraiser is a culmination of the entire year's efforts. We used the funds raised from all the events to award deserving women in the community with "leg-up" scholarships, grants and endowments. At this event, the recipients of the awards are honored as TCWF supporters congratulate and learn more about the goals and dreams of the women they support.

In 2014, The Chatman Women's Foundation (TCWF) hosted an event geared toward 100 elite professional women entitled PowHer Play. The event was such a huge hit that it became the signature event for TCWF. The great part about PowHer Play is that strong, powerful women are giving advice to other strong and powerful women. Women from all major industries from banks, government officials and Fortune 500 companies attended the event to share experiences and learned from others. Each year, the success of the event is evident by the many ladies that share experiences and gain knowledge from others.
