The Boone Area Chamber of Commerce is pleased to present Evergreen Voices, the fourth annual Watauga Women in Leadership Gala, an evening dedicated to celebrating the women whose determination, grit, and passion continue to shape the High Country.Thursday, November 20, 2025
from 5:00-7:30 pm at the Inn at Crestwood.
This year's conversation centers on work ethic and hustle, the drive that pushes us to do hard things, stay committed through challenges, and find purpose in the process. Our featured panelists represent a dynamic mix of experiences, from athletics and education to music and mentorship. Each will share how lessons learned early in life, on the court, in the classroom, or on stage, laid the foundation for their leadership today.
Like evergreens that stand strong through every season, these women embody persistence, balance, and the quiet strength that keeps them, and those they inspire, moving forward.
Your attendance helps strengthen the ongoing work of Watauga Women in Leadership, supporting programs that uplift, connect, and inspire women throughout the High Country. Join us for an evening of stories, connection, and celebration as we honor the women who remind us that success is built one hard-earned step at a time.
