In honor of Women’s History Month at the Quad County African American Chamber of Commerce, the Aurora Regional Economic Alliance presents the 2025 Women of Influence Tea Party: “Spilling the Tea” on Wellness While We Build.

This event, which includes tea service and brunch, creates a space for women in business to connect, reflect, and refuel—mentally, physically, and professionally.
