DESCRIPTION:
	The Hamilton Chamber of Commerce Human Resources Committee is h
	osting its annual discussion panel each to address issues that are of con
	cern to its membership. This year the committee is proud to host a panel
	 of five prolific women from the Hamilton-Burlington Bay Area who will dis
	cuss what businesses are doing to create positive work environments and gr
	owth opportunities for women in the Bay Area.  They will also answer ques
	tions on a range of topics including how women can break into male-dominat
	ed fields\, changes to legislation that affect women in the workplace\, ex
