Speakers and Special Events

Whatcom Women’s Network (WWN) is a partnership of businesswomen 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, WWN invites a guest speaker to address the group on a topic of interest or timely subject matter.

Join now and pay no dues during the 1st quarter of 2026!

Meetings are now scheduled once monthly on First Thursdays only. Below is a schedule of our upcoming events.
