Being Women In Business
Dynamic. Educated. Professional.
Through dynamic speakers, engaging dialogue, and networking opportunities, the Naperville Area Chamber Women In Business (WIB) Committee works to empower today’s professional woman.
The Women In Business Network programs address the challenging business needs that women in business face through:
- Dynamic Speakers
- Engaging Dialogue
- Online Communication
“Through educational programs and other social events throughout the year, professional women can build lasting relationships and gain valuable knowledge on topics important to them.”
