Orange County Women's Business Chamber Launches “HerVoice United: City Conversations”
New monthly series brings OC business leaders into direct dialogue with mayors, councilmembers, and county and state officials
GARDEN GROVE, Calif. — The Orange County Women's Business Chamber (OCWBC) today announced the launch of HerVoice United: City Conversations, a new monthly, nonpartisan initiative designed to create direct, candid dialogue between OCWBC members and the local leaders who shape policy across Orange County.
Each month, the series will bring mayors, city councilmembers, county and state officials, business leaders, and community advocates into facilitated conversation with OCWBC's select members — women business owners, executives, and professionals from across the region. Sessions are moderated by the OCWBC Government & Community Affairs Committee and include opening remarks from the featured guest followed by an extended Q&A with attendees.
“Our members are running businesses and shaping communities every single day, and they deserve a direct line to the people making decisions that affect both,” said Majeda Geramy, President and Founder of OCWBC. “HerVoice United: City Conversations gives our community a consistent, meaningful space to talk directly with local leadership about the issues that matter most — policy, priorities, and the everyday realities of doing business in Orange County.”
Conversations will focus on topics such as local priorities and policy, business environment and economic development, community and civic engagement, and resources available to women-owned businesses. Each session runs approximately 45 to 60 minutes and is open to OCWBC select members and invited guests, in-person or virtually depending on the event.
As a nonpartisan initiative, HerVoice United: City Conversations keeps its focus on policy and its impact on business and community rather than partisan politics, with OCWBC's moderator guiding each session to stay constructive and issue focused.
OCWBC will share a recap of each session with its membership and will confirm featured guests, topics, and event details in advance each month.

The Orange County Women's Business Chamber (OCWBC), together with the Orange County Women's Business Foundation, supports and connects women business owners, executives, and professionals throughout Orange County through advocacy, education, and community programming with over 900 members and 37 initiatives.
