The Ormond Beach Chamber of Commerce is proud to present the Women2Women Luncheon on Thursday, March 13, hosted at Oceanside Country Club.
This inspiring luncheon will feature Dr. Carmen J.

Appointed superintendent in 2022, Dr. Balgobin brings more than 27 years of experience in public education and a deep commitment to student success, academic achievement, and community partnership.
Under her leadership, Volusia County Schools earned its first “A” rating from the Florida Department of Education in more than a decade, achieved its highest graduation rate ever, and significantly expanded career and technical education opportunities, STEM initiatives, and dual language programs. Her work has also strengthened school safety through innovative partnerships and forward-thinking solutions.
Recognized nationally and locally for her leadership, including being named National Superintendent of the Year and Public Sector Woman of the Year, Dr. Balgobin’s story is one of perseverance, purpose, and impact. Born in Venezuela and committed to the belief that education is the great equalizer, she continues to shape inclusive communities and open doors of opportunity for students and families across Volusia County.
Join us for an afternoon of connection, conversation, and inspiration as we hear from a leader who is transforming education and empowering the next generation
