Who is YWiB?
The Young Women in Business [YWiB] network is a non-profit society for emerging female leaders in Western Canada. The network acts as the central forum to connect ambitious young women from a variety of careers, industries, and backgrounds.
What Does YWiB Do?
YWiB consists of four different groups, each of whom target different groups of young women:
- YWiB hosts a variety of events that provide our members (mainly young professionals and entrepreneurs) with opportunities to develop relevant skills and knowledge, so that they have the insight, support, and capability to reach their fullest personal and professional potential.
- Our university chapters at UBC and SFU serve the needs of young women who are still in school, teaching them valuable skills and sharing invaluable experiences through workshops, panel sessions & other events.
- Our annual conference Beyond P!nk brings together all our members to celebrate inspiration, learning and sharing each others’ stories.
