Vancouver Island Women's Business Network (WBN)
The Vancouver Island Women's Business Network was formed after the 1989 "Business Success for Women" Conference organized by the Federal Business Bank. Thirty-five women met informally for lunch and memberships quickly grew. The WBN was incorporated as a non-profit association in 1990.
Our mandate is to provide a strong networking, educational and social forum. We encourage, motivate and support all women in business.
Current members include entrepreneurs, business owners and professionals in a variety of fields. Our diverse network includes people in retail, service, manufacturing, the arts, health, government, not-for-profit and more.
Since 1989 the Vancouver Island Women's Business Network (WBN) has supported business and professional women by providing mentoring, networking and business opportunities, and has raised thousands of dollars for local women's charities such as Wear 2 Start Foundation, Victoria Women's Transition House and Iy, Ilen Hautw, the Native Transition House and WIN.
Join women in business on the third Tuesday of each month for our Monthly Mixer, an evening of business networking, education and support. Reservations are required by the second Saturday of the month as this is a catered event. Register through www.viwbn.org on our secure internet system.
"Let's Do Lunch", the first Thursday of the month, is a casual lunch of business networking, good company, and great food. No reservations are required. See the website at www.viwbn.org for more information.
Visitors are welcome to all functions.
