WIBA BUSINESS LIFE GROUP SOCIAL
The Business Life Group Social we had this week was a great way to connect WIBA members in their groups and learn from other groups as well. If you missed it and do not have a group or are wondering what group you are in, call or email the WIBA office, we will plug you in!
Our Business Life Groups are a way for WIBA members to connect on a deeper level with other businesses and help support and encourage our members. The purpose of these groups is to gain insights from life group leaders and each other, strengthen connections, and get fresh perspectives on your most pressing business questions.
The overall WIBA membership is divided into life groups of 10-15 members. Life group members represent different areas of expertise and experiences. Click here to see more photos.
