Meet Whitney McDuff

Chapter President

Whitney McDuff believes that all women have important stories to tell and skill sets to share, and it’s her mission to help us do it in a way that helps our businesses and lives grow - making her Dames chapter President GOLD. She is a public speaker’s secret weapon, earning her recognition with a Best of Charleston award, on stages around the world, and by outlets such as Forbes, ABC, NBC, CBS, Marvel, ESPN, Newsweek, USA Today, and The Huffington Post.

Whitney is also the author of two bestselling children’s books, The Lollie Tree and Where The Lollies Go. When she’s not helping women get visible, credible, and profitable, you can find her playing the piano or guitar.
