Event Description The Chamber's 8th Annual Women in Business Celebration is set for Thursday, Oct. 6, 11:30 a.m., at the Doubletree by Hilton Decatur Riverfront and presented by Nucor Steel Decatur. The event will feature a keynote address from Elizabeth "Liz" Huntley, committed child advocate and legal representative and consultant for governmental and non-profit agencies that serve children and families. Huntley earned her law degree from the University of Alabama  School of Law where she now serves as Chair of the Farrah Law Society Board of Trustees. She received her undergraduate degree from Auburn University, where she is a member of the Auburn University Board of Trustees. Her inspirational memoir "More Than A Bird" published in 2015, celebrates the teachers and community leaders that impacted her life. A portion of the proceeds from her book support efforts to advocate for the expansion of Alabama's high-quality, voluntary pre-k program and will be available.

The luncheon will also feature the presentation of the Athena International Leadership Award to a member of the Morgan County business community who demonstrates excellence, creativity and initiative in her profession. Recipients not only provide valuable service by contributing time and energy to improve the quality of life for others in the community, but also actively assist other women in realizing their full leadership potential.
