“The annual Orland Women’s Network event is about more than a luncheon, it’s about creating a space where women can network, celebrate one another and grow together,” said Dan McMillan, President of the Orland Park Area Chamber of Commerce. “When women share resources, open doors and champion each other’s success, the entire business community benefits.”
