More than just a professional networking group, e Engaging NWI Business Women’s mission is to attract, retain and advance business women in the Region through education, leadership and business development. They are a catalyst for positive change in while adding value to careers and organizations.
“There is a strong need for an organization like this in NW Indiana,” explains President Carol Highsmith. “When we can gather strong women leaders and use their knowledge to mentor others, we will be able to improve the region's image, champion the business case for diversity, enhance our business and personal lives and develop best practices that will help Northwest Indiana compete.”
Among e Engaging NWI Business Women’s initial priorities are facilitating a series of every other month networking events held on a Tuesday from 4:30-6:30 pm, developing an online communication network on LinkedIn, printing a directory that complements our online network and compiling online resource materials.
Membership is open to any man or woman who supports our vision. Annual e Engaging NWI Business Women dues are just $75 and support a number of initiatives. For more information visit their website. If you'd like your name added to our email list contact Julie Olthoff.
