Almost two years ago I decided to accept an offer for a position in a new industry. My role was to form partnerships and strong business relationships that would result in a stream of referrals coming my company’s way. As I had no connections within this industry I went to Google and researched networking groups in Ottawa. WBN was the group that really stood out to me and fortunately enough there was a Mix & Mingle Breakfast the next day. I signed up as a new member and have never looked back.

My experience with the WBN has been perfectly amazing! At my very first meeting, I met a powerhouse of women. Over my past time with WBN it has been an amazing experience for me. The caliber of women who are part of this association is bar none! I have gained such an amazing network over a very short period of time, I feel so fortunate and look forward to many more years being part of the WBN.

The WBN leadership and members are just so encouraging and positive. During the shutdown, I had a really rough time at first, and I seriously considered just closing up the shop for good. But the WBN was a huge catalyst in me pushing through. With their help, knowing I had their support, I held on and now I know we’re going to make it.

I remember the first time I attended a WBN Gala to support a client who was nominated. I was so inspired listening to all the stories that night from women who had started their own business, helped their community and were creating memories with their families. I realized I could do more – get more involved, say yes to opportunities and take chances in my career without knowing the outcome. I am so grateful to be a part of this organization of strong, ambitious women, who are not only successful entrepreneurs, but also integral members of our network who prove our potential is limitless.
