ABOUT THE CIRCLE

The WBMC provides a forum for learning and connecting with other women business owners.  At each monthly meeting, members work together, sharing their challenges and receiving guidance, ideas and feedback from each other.  Over time, in a confidential, non-competitive environment, you will develop stronger relationships with your fellow members, celebrating each other’s successes and supporting each other through your challenges.  If you are willing to give and receive advice in a private, confidential, small group of women business owners, then we encourage you to apply for a seat in one of our exclusive mentoring circles.
