We are committed to providing service and support to female business leaders, entrepreneurs, business executives and home based sales leaders who have both successful and developing businesses and careers. Ilona Makar began the initial networking franchise in Calgary under another company name in 2009. In 2010 met Debbie Van Camp who also had a similar networking franchise in another area of Calgary. They joined forces that same year, building on what they had learned that worked within their own groups and started a new networking company. CBWN was born! Given the success of CBWN in Calgary, the decision to open up new markets was made and Connected Business Women Network was born. The new name is a reflection of not only our mission but also, our desire to provide Edmonton business women with the same benefits and experiences Calgary Business Women have come to know and expect. CBWN allows you to... - Build real relationships to increase leads and promote business growth - Develop relationships and network with people you know, like and trust - Savvy group of female entrepreneurs, executives and business professionals - Networking events are informative and high energy - Group with a sincere desire to help each other grow personally and professionally What’s different about CBWN?

Volunteer positions at every meeting to help you be top of mind with the group Nurturing, supportive, friendly and collaborative members Come away every meeting with solid contacts, leads and with a dose of inspiration to last you all month long! WHY CBWN CBWN is committed to providing an inclusive, membership free option to participate in every CBWN event, right from your first meeting. This has become our signature standard. Women’s business organizations have been instrumental in shaping the nature of contemporary networking organizations. With the proliferation of women business in the previous decades, many women formed structured, well-organized groups that met to network and provide professional support. These groups were created not as service clubs but as bona fide networking organizations . Don’t put all your eggs in one basket; one type of business organization won’t serve all your needs. Consciously select a well-rounded mix of networking groups. We believe there is room in the marketplace for all networking groups. Come out and be part of the most sought-after women’s networking group. We invite you to a meeting of learning and inspiration for professional women in business. We have at least one meeting a month and you are able to come when it fits in your schedule.
