Our Mission

To create an intentional, uplifting space where women in business can connect, learn, and grow together. We believe in collaboration over competition, meaningful conversations, and supporting each other through every stage of entrepreneurship and leadership.

Our Focus

WIB exists to bring local women together for authentic connection, professional growth, and community impact. Through monthly gatherings, featured speakers, and quarterly social events, we provide opportunities to:

Learn from local business leaders and experts
Build relationships with like-minded women
Share resources, challenges, and successes
Inspire confidence and purpose-driven growth

Whether you’re just starting out or leading a growing business, WIB is a space to refuel, refocus, and remember that you’re not alone in the journey.
