SUMMARY:A Seat At The Table: Conversations for Women in Business
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a 1:1 Networking Event for local businesswomen and local women in leadership recognizing International Women’s Day.\n\n\n\nIn celebration of International Women’s Day\, we’ve partnered with Community Futures British Columbia and WeBC to host a networking event for local businesswomen and local women in leadership. \nWe are excited to kick off the evening with Dolly Reno\, Owner/Founder of Noble Yoga. Dolly will share her entrepreneurial story with honesty and openness. This story sets the stage for the evening’s networking by normalizing the realities of leadership\, encouraging authenticity and mutual support. \nAttendees will then have an opportunity to dive deep themselves with guided\, one-to-one conversations in rotation (similar to speed networking) allowing everyone to meaningfully connect with multiple people throughout the evening. \nThis anticipated event will create a highly interactive and genuinely connective experience for local businesswomen in the North Okanagan. \nPlease note\, space is limited for this event and it is expected to sell-out. Reserve your spot now! \nQuestions? Please reach out to Kitty Boda at kittyb@futuresbc.com. \n\n\n\n\nFunded by the Government of Canada’s Women Entrepreneurship Strategy
