Join the Women's Leadership Circle
The WLC is open to all 5,500 members of The Vancouver Board of Trade, one third of which are women. Almost half of all The Board's new members currently joining are women.
And best of all, as a Board of Trade member it's free to participate. Email info@wlcircle.com to sign up and be kept up-to-date on WLC programs and receive our monthly newsletter.
Why join if you are already a Board member?
You will be kept up to date on all the information regarding the WLC, including newsletters, speaker events and special Private Circles with women leaders. It’s also an opportunity to connect with women members of the Board by attending WLC events.
Why join if you are not a Board member?
This is the time to join The Board of Trade. The WLC Board of Trade program provides the opportunity to involve more of the women in your organization in relevant Board of Trade activities. For companies and individuals, the WLC offers an added benefit to Board membership: it’s a great way to connect with this exciting new network of women leaders and professionals. Men and women are welcome to attend all WLC events. We encourage it!
The Vancouver Board of Trade is headquartered at 999 Canada Place but it holds more than 500 events a year at various Vancouver hotels and interesting venues. The Board is a place to network - more than 250,000 cards are exchanged annually at our events. It is also the place to make a difference as an organization that impacts public policy.
Encourage Others
There's strength in numbers so encourage your business associates, friends and clients to join up and meet other women in business. Make this the ‘gathering place’ to meet up with your network. By joining the WLC, you will build a network of depth, breadth and reach.
The Vancouver Board of Trade has a long history of championing women leaders amongst its membership. Wendy McDonald, CM, OBC became The Board's first woman chair in 1990-91, followed by Jill Bodkin in 1994-95 and current B.C. Finance Minister Carole Taylor, OC, OBC in 2001-02.
