This special evening features Nancy Silberkleit, whose inspiring journey took her from elementary school teacher to Co-CEO of the iconic Archie Comics. Nancy will share her experience stepping into a family business within a traditionally male-dominated industry, the challenges she overcame, and the lessons she learned about leadership, resilience, and finding her voice.

Mad River Valley Women in Business (MRV WIB) is a Chamber initiative dedicated to connecting, supporting, and celebrating women throughout our community. Through networking events, educational programs, and conversations with accomplished leaders, MRV WIB creates opportunities to build meaningful relationships, share ideas, foster mentorship, and encourage personal and professional growth. Whether you’re an entrepreneur, business owner, nonprofit leader, remote worker, or just beginning your career, you’ll find a welcoming community of women who believe in lifting one another up.

Following Nancy’s presentation, attendees will have the opportunity to participate in a live Q&A, offering a chance to engage directly with her, ask questions, and gain additional insight from her unique career and leadership experiences.

Whether you’re seeking inspiration, practical advice, new professional connections, or simply an enjoyable evening with an extraordinary speaker, we hope you’ll join us for what promises to be an engaging and memorable event. Come connect, learn, and be inspired.
