As EBWN heads into its summer break, I wanted to take a moment to reflect on what this incredible group has meant to me.
While EBWN has been serving women in business for over 30 years, I've personally been fortunate to be part of this amazing community for over a decade.
When I first joined, my business was in a very different place than it is today. The relationships, encouragement, referrals, mentorship, and connections I've built through this group have played a significant role in the growth of CVD Photography over the years.
As business owners, we often wear all the hats while raising families, managing households, supporting our communities, and trying to grow our businesses at the same time. There is something incredibly valuable about sitting around a table with women who truly understand those challenges and are willing to share their experiences, advice, and support.
Some of my closest business connections, referral partners, collaborators, and friends have come from this network. Those relationships have opened doors, created opportunities, and helped shape both my business and my confidence as an entrepreneur.
As we look toward relaunching EBWN this fall, we'd love your input on what comes next. What do you love about the group? What would you like to see more of? What would make networking more valuable for you?
Please take a moment to share your thoughts on the original post. The Executive Team is working hard to build an even stronger experience for our members, and your feedback matters.
Here's to growing together, supporting one another, and building the next chapter of EBWN.
EBWN Summer Break & Exciting Changes Ahead!
As we wrap up another season, we'll be taking a break for the summer and returning in September with a fresh vision for the future of EBWN.
Heading into our 30th year, this network has connected, supported, and empowered women in business throughout our community. As we look ahead, we're excited to explore new ideas that will help us grow, strengthen connections, and create even more value for our members.
