Modak, Nisha (1)

"For me, it's both a privilege and an honor to serve as a Board Director for the Greater Houston Women’s Chamber of Commerce. I'm incredibly passionate about the organization's mission and its dedication to providing an outlet for women from diverse industries and careers. The Chamber offers a place for women to connect, grow, learn, and support each other, which I find truly inspiring. Being part of this community of extraordinary women has been an honor. It inspires me and provides valuable perspectives as I advance in my own career. Seeing the wonderful examples set by other members gives me insights into how my future might unfold. This environment of mutual empowerment is something I deeply value, and it continually motivates me to contribute and be part of this fantastic organization."

Nisha Pillay Modak

GHWCC Board Member, Financial Advisor of Morgan Stanley

"The Greater Houston Women's Chamber of Commerce (GHWCC) is an incredible organization run by women, for women. It provides unparalleled opportunities for women at all levels to connect, collaborate, and form lasting friendships. Being a part of the GHWCC has been immensely important to me. It has helped me meet dynamic women, build valuable working relationships, and make cherished personal connections. Through the Chamber, I have found support, knowledge, and opportunities that have significantly contributed to the growth of my businesses."

Leisa Holland-Nelson

GHWCC Board Member, Vice President/CMO of ASTOUNDZ

" The Thought Leaders Institute is a strong program that combines women from different companies, industries and specializations to come together for a year program to learn from an executive coach and go down a path of self-discovery. I was personally promoted to CEO during my time with my cohort and I know many other women who found their way to promotions, better business relationships and new adventures as a result of this program. "

Janette Marx

CEO of Airswift

" The founder and president is the reason the GHWCC is different and better than other similar types of organizations. I’ve been a member of many others, but none have a leader with the passion for helping women and the drive that never stops. It shows in everything she does for the Chamber. "

Beth Young

Senior Vice President of Colliers International

" Well, I think there are a lot of success stories, but I myself joined the chamber when my company was young and virtually unknown. By recognizing our accomplishments through awards, the newsletter, and leadership opportunities at the Chamber, our company really benefitted. Not only did we feel embraced by the supportive community the chamber provided but we experienced outstanding growth as a result of the exposure we gained through chamber events. "

Juliet Breeze

CEO/Founder of Next Level Medical, LLC

“I became involved with the GHWCC about a year ago and have been impressed with how the Ambassadors and members help insure that everyone participates. If they see you are sitting alone, they will come help you by make introductions and creating connections. You don’t get that type of networking in many organizations. I was a 2016 Women in the Fast Lane STEAM role model and I am so proud to help motivate young girls and introduce them to successful business women.”

Paige Gerich

Retired, BKD CPAs & Advisors

“Joining the GHWCC has been an invaluable experience. I have been a member of the Chamber for the past six years – it’s inspiring to see this group’s amazing growth in such a short time. I am proud to serve on the Board and be part of such a highly diverse and accomplished group of women, many of whom I now call friends. ”

Melanie Herz Promecene

Principal, Open Doors Development, LLC

“Becoming involved in the GHWCC has been one of the best professional development decisions I have made in my career. It provides the best opportunities for meeting influential business people, many of whom are women. GHWCC is all about women helping women succeed in business and life. Because of GHWCC, I have increased business referrals and have more wonderful friends.”
