Toronto Women Empowerment Events
– July Edition
July 2, 2019
A curated list of monthly events, just for you
“Pulling a good network together takes effort, sincerity and time.” – Alan Collins
One of my life’s passions? Networking. (…after real estate, of course.)
My love of networking has nothing to do with the number of contacts in my address book, and everything to do with the joy I experience when helping people make valuable connections.
The way I see it, networking is about building a community of people you can turn to — whether you’re looking for business advice over coffee, a new skill to bring your vision to life, or the perfect neighbourhood to start a family.
And what better way to empower women than by creating a space to make those life-changing connections?
So here’s my gift to you: A curated list of monthly events for women who like to take the leap, lean in, and act on great opportunities.
While not all of these events are exclusively for women, they’re on this list for a reason. Perhaps the event features a successful female founder, or maybe a strong woman speaker is taking the lead on a topic that is relevant to me… and you. Whatever the case, I hope to see you there!
Happy Networking!
