Description

WBON is grateful for each and every one of our members, supporters and community and will be displaying that by mixing things up for our annual conference. We will be hosting presenters that inspire and uplift while creating an environment for organic connection to take place among participants. Hosted at the scenic Echo Leahy Center in downtown Burlington, we will feature Keynote Speaker Joni B. Cole (published author, teacher and speaker), an interactive workshop hosted by Deb Chisholm (Deb Chisholm Coaching, LLC), a panel presentation where we will hear from 6 women business owners who are thriving both personally and professionally, and an Endnote Presentation with Lisa Danforth (Business Growth Strategist and Leadership Coach). Participants will enjoy a fresh catered lunch and ample time for connecting with each other in both structured and unstructured ways. Participants will leave feeling rejuvenated and uplifted with connections that will stay with them long past the conference.
