The Women Business Owners program supports the WIT ideal that when one woman helps another amazing things happen. The program brings together women at all stages and sizes of business ownership to share their challenges and successes. An annual theme ties together a series of events where women business owners have the opportunity to learn from experts and explore ideas and challenges in a supportive and safe environment. 

The program is guided by these core beliefs: 

  • We believe in a supportive and engaged network for every women business owner
  • We believe in fostering active connections
  • We believe in paying forward and giving back
  • We believe in finding ways to make the dream a reality
