THE WOMEN'S LEAGUE OF THE
BLACK CHAMBER OF ARIZONA
Connect. Lead. Belong.
The social arm of the Black Chamber of Arizona. A table wide enough for our brilliance, our history, our differences and our possibility, all at once.
â—‡ Founding Member enrollment closes December 19, 2026
CONNECT. LEAD. BELONG.
Where the women of the chamber gather
The Black Chamber of Arizona helps businesses grow. The Women's League is where the women behind those businesses find each other.
Every month, we gather in person in some of the best rooms in Phoenix and Scottsdale. Founders, executives, rising leaders and women starting their next chapter, all at one table. Not name tags and elevator pitches. Real conversation, real introductions and relationships that open doors.
If we are going to build something meaningful for women, we need tables big enough for all of us. This is that table.

WHO'S LEADING IT
Built together
Dr. Velma Trayham invited Leslie K. Leland to build the Women's League as its Founding Chair. Together, they are growing the social side of the chamber.
FOUNDING CHAIR
Leslie K. Leland
Leslie is the Founder and President of Wigs Plus, a national healthcare company serving veterans, and the author of The Architect of Redemption. She came to Arizona from Washington, DC, and before that Atlanta, two cities where Black professional women have spaces that feel like home. She is building that here. Her question for every room she leads: what is emanating from me?
PRESIDENT AND CEO
BLACK CHAMBER OF ARIZONA
Dr. Velma Trayham
Dr. Velma Trayham leads the Black Chamber of Arizona, connecting Black-owned businesses across the state to capital, contracts and corporate partners. The Women's League is part of her vision for a chamber where members stay connected long after the deal is done.
