2025 WOW Women of Arvada

April 14, 2025

For the fifth year, the Greater Arvada Chamber of Commerce led a celebration of Arvada women leaders all month long. Formerly Badass Women of Arvada, WOW Women of Arvada included an exclusive networking event for those recognized. The rebranding follows feedback from member businesses, the community, and the Chamber Board on a name that is more accessible to our business community, while aligning with the Chamber’s mission. The new brand stays true to the campaign’s goal to recognize exceptional women and evokes a Chamber core value of curating WOW experiences.
