MEETINGS - Overview

The Thunder Bay Business Women's Network is a dynamic networking group! 
New members are always welcome.

Each year, the Network offers its members and the community of Thunder Bay an exciting schedule of events. Meetings are held September through June on a Thursday, either mid-day or evening.  Meetings may include a meal, a speaker or other special activities as well as time for networking. Check out our Calendar for upcoming meeting dates!

We invite a wide range of individuals to be keynote speakers at our meetings; many live and work in our community because the Network is firmly committed to honouring local expertise. From time to time, we are able to schedule a speaker with a provincial or national profile who can offer a unique perspective on topics of interest to our members. A fee is charged for each meeeting to cover expenses (including facility rental, meals and speaker costs).
