About the Venue & Sponsor

We are excited for GAACC Women's Club to be hosted at DAM-A! A one-of-a-kind destination where you can enjoy Korean hotpot, BBQ and a spring roll bar—all included for a single, all-inclusive price.

About the GAACC Women’s Club

The GAACC Women's Club is the Chamber's bi-monthly member meetup where women-identified leaders in the community come together to share a meal at one of our member restaurants while enjoying a leadership presentation or talk. The meetups usually last an hour and a half, with the first 30 minutes dedicated to networking and the next hour for the presentation and discussion. The GAACC Women's Club is led by our 2026 GAACC Women's Club Captain, Omaira Hanif, Founder of Lapis Integrative Health. 

GAACC Corporate Sponsors & Partners

The generous support of these sponsors and partners allows GAACC to continue delivering programs to members and to the public with the mission of Serving Local, Thinking Global, and Being Heard - and to support our members through advocacy, education, and connections.
