Message from WiBN’s FounderWomen tend to make business decisions based primarily on

the relationships they have built. Whether it's seeking

collaboration, learning something new, finding a mentor or

making a major purchase, we seek out someone we know or a

trusted referral.

Networking is the best way for prospective clients and referrals to

get a sense of who we are and what we can offer. Whether

you are an entrepreneur, sole proprietor, part of a larger

organization, work remotely from your home office, getting

ready to make a career change or launch a business,

networking will provide you with the connections, ideas, and

inspiration needed to move forward or to the next level.

Women in Business Networking is about YOU.

In serving you, I am grateful for this opportunity to apply my creative energy and natural

tendency to create meaningful connections for our members and guests. My intention with

Women in Business Networking is to provide a interactive venue where you leave each

event excited about an idea, connection or the next step you'll take. Leaving feeling good

about you and what you do in life.

I encourage you to share your interests with me so that the benefits and opportunities

provided through Women in Business Networking can flourish. I'm happy to be on this

journey with you and sharing our accomplishments and networking success with each

other!”
