Towne Post Network — Indiana reports the Westfield Chamber is creating "The Table: A Women’s Business Council." The announcement names Janelle Campbell (Senior Vice President, Chief Consumer Banking Officer at Community First Bank of Indiana) as a member of the council's first board and notes a kick-off event is planned for December.

The Table is described as a space "to grow, gather and influence," aimed at supporting women who are CEOs, business owners, senior executives, professionals and leaders in nonprofit, government and economic development fields. The article says The Table will not replace or replicate Women of Westfield (WOW), which now operates independently as a 501(c)(3).

WHY IT MATTERS

This announcement signals a new, chamber-backed forum for women in business that aims to go beyond casual networking. The Table is presented as an organized council where members who hold leadership roles—CEOs, senior executives, business owners and nonprofit or government leaders—can meet with a stated purpose to "grow, gather and influence." That phrasing suggests planned programming or structured meetings rather than only drop-in networking.

For example, an executive looking for peer-level mentoring or coordinated civic engagement would look to The Table for targeted opportunities instead of general mixers. The article also clarifies The Table is intended to coexist with Women of Westfield (WOW), which the piece says now operates independently as a 501(c)(3) and was originally established by the chamber in 2019. A named early board member, Janelle Campbell, links The Table to existing local leadership networks.

Next step: the article identifies a kick-off event planned for December but gives no exact date; readers should watch the Westfield Chamber’s announcements or Towne Post Network — Indiana for event details and registration information.
