Speakers and Special Events
Whatcom Women’s Network (WWN) is a partnership of businesswomen and womenpreneurs who are dedicated to in-person networking and business referrals. WWN aims to advance the business and personal success of local professional women through bimonthly meetings that combine a social atmosphere with networking, business promotion, and quality member-to-member referrals.
Our members rotate to present information about their businesses, industries, or educate fellow members on various skills they can apply to their daily tasks.
On occasion, WPN invites a guest speaker to address the group on a topic of interest or timely subject matter.
We meet on the second and fourth Thursday of the month.
Below is a schedule of our upcoming speakers/presentations… and a few past speakers and topics.
