What’s new this year?
This year, we have introduced several new initiatives to further engage our members. The first of these initiatives is launching a YWiB SFU chapter of the prestigious international organization, Toastmasters. This first info session will be held on Thursday, November 22. More information can be found here. Our second new program will be a book club, to give our members the opportunity to share their love of literature, business and otherwise. This will be launching in the early new year. Finally, we are looking forward to organizing our first intramural team in the second semester, most likely playing volleyball.
