Women in Recreation and Business (WRIB) and the Ontario Gay & Lesbian Chamber of Commerce (OGLCC) are working together to strengthen the involvement and participation of Women Business Owners within our community. Not only do we have a new joint membership program, but there will be a unique line-up of networking events specifically for the women entrepreneurs during this next year.
Dee Paul, president of the WRIB organization, has revived business events for WRIB members. Recently, WRIB held a very successful Women’s' Business event on May 31st with nearly 50 women entrepreneurs in attendance. In addition, WRIB has been hosting a women's business luncheon on Friday afternoons. The next WRIB business event will be the AGM on July 21, 2010, at 7:00 p.m. located at Whistlers Pub & Grill.
A joint membership will nearly double the number of networking events for our women business members as well as open up a variety of non-business events available under the WRIB organization. The OGLCC is running a series of women-only networking hours that will precede our regular networking events. The inaugural run of this event will take place July 28, 2010, at Bumpkins (21 Gloucester Street, Toronto, Ontario) from 5:30 p.m. – 6:30 p.m followed immediately by our regular networking event from 6:30 p.m. – 8:30 p.m.
If you or any women entrepreneurs you know would like to find a place to meet other women entrepreneurs in our community, please register today at http://www.oglcc.com/wrib. To take advantage of our 2-for-1 Membership Campaign along with WRIB's discount membership, please call the OGLCC office for this summer's introductory rates, which are available until August 31, 2010*.
