Women's Networking Luncheon
The Spring event is held in honour of International Women’s Day, a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women.
Our Fall luncheon continues that momentum in October, spotlighting women-led business success and leadership in our community.
Professional business women attend this event and enjoy amazing opportunities to share and be inspired by entrepreneurial female leaders and to learn about the business challenges and triumphs faced on the road to success.
