In addition to our weekly meetings, BWIB hosts two larger events:

  • Zendesk Case Competition (Fall)

These events provide members with an opportunity to gain a hands-on learning experience while connecting with industry leaders.

Our Values

Through weekly meetings and social events, such as retreats, day-trips and dinners, our members quickly become integrated into a closely-knit group. We encourage each other to explore new interests, provide one another with opportunities and celebrate our individual and collective successes.

BWIB was established to address the challenges that female business professionals face in the workplace. Through info sessions, panels, conferences and skill-building workshops, BWIB seeks to empower and enable members to break society's status quo and enter the workforce as confident, resilient professionals.

 

In order to give our members the greatest edge in developing their careers, we have developed relationships with top employers in industries ranging from investment banking and consulting to non-tech in tech. The intimate size of our meetings ensures that each member is able to establish interpersonal connections with company representatives.
