Join us for a day of networking, connecting, inspiration and professional growth at the 31st Annual Business Women’s Forum held at the beautiful Messiah University.
The Carlisle Area Chamber of Commerce and the West Shore Chamber of Commerce team up each year to support women across Central Pennsylvania through Engaging Speakers and Motivating Breakout Sessions in addition to hosting many Vendors from various industries.
Kristal, the Bossy Girl made her debut in 2016 with a novel idea to redefine BOSSY and help women to own all their power. This idea became a movement, a wave, that has been adopted by everyone it touches. She is now a renowned motivational speaker, thought leader, influencer and leadership authority, and an up-and-coming best-selling author.
Kristal has motivated leaders to change their lives by discovering their full power while building maximum influence. As women, we are so often not seen or heard. People do not understand all that we have to offer or what impact we bring to the table.

Another one of our 2024 Business Woman of the Year Nominees is Bilita “Bili” Mattes, Executive Director, STEM-UP Network.
Her Nominator Said:”Bili embodies exceptional leadership qualities across all facets of her life. Her contributions have not only elevated the STEM-UP Network but have also made a lasting impact on the broader community and the advancement of women.”
We asked… Who is your role model or mentor and why? “Dale Carnegie has been my role model since I was in my 20s. So much so, that I became certified as a Dale Carnegie instructor and taught these classes as an avocation for 13 years also starting in my early 20s. His human relations principles, focus on others vs. self, and authenticity have influenced me greatly over the years both personally and professionally.”
Business Woman of the Year is sponsored by Wells Fargo Advisors.
Let’s congratulate Bili on all of her success!
