Tampa Bay Chamber to host 16th Annual Women of Influence Luncheon

On Thursday, April 14, the Tampa Bay Chamber will host the 16th Annual Women of Influence Luncheon, Presented by Tampa General Hospital, at the Tampa Marriott Water Street, from 11:30 a.m. to 1:15 p.m.

The event will feature keynote speaker Rhonda Kallman, co-founder of the Boston Beer Company and the founder and chief executive officer of Boston Harbor Distillery.

At the young age of 24, Kallman cofounded the Boston Beer Company (BBC)—brewer of Samuel Adams—which quickly became the most successful craft brewery in the world. But Kallman did more than just establish and build this world-renowned company.

Along the way, she single-handedly paved the way for women, in the historically male-dominated beer industry. Recognized in 1990 by the Institute for Brewing Studies as the “Pioneering Woman in the Beer Industry,” Kallman has broken down countless barriers and established a whole new set of opportunities for women in business.

The purpose of the Women of Influence Luncheon is to recognize, and highlight, the importance of women in business. It’s a fact that businesses and organizations are more successful because of the unique perspectives and experiences that each female leader brings to the table.
