🎉 Board Member Spotlight: Victoria McAuley
Membership Director — Kawartha Aquamation
Victoria McAuley joined the WBN board with a clear intention: to build meaningful, authentic relationships and help create a space where others feel inspired to get involved. She sees her role as a chance to contribute to something impactful while encouraging more women to experience the strength of a supportive, empowering network.
“I wanted to be part of something impactful—and to encourage more women to experience the value and strength of being connected to a supportive, empowering network.”
In her first year as Membership Director, Victoria hopes to gain genuine connections, a stronger sense of purpose, and a boost in confidence.

Our Galentine’s Meeting at The Venue was everything we love about this community — connection, collaboration, and women lifting each other up.
A huge thank‑you to our meeting sponsor Sugar Me Right! for supporting this gathering and helping us create such a welcoming space.
Our speed networking rounds were a hit, giving members the chance to meet women they hadn’t connected with before and spark new relationships.
We’re also grateful for the incredible generosity shown toward Period Promise (formerly Tampon Tuesday). Thank you to every member who donated — your support helps ensure menstrual products are accessible to those who need them most.
What a beautiful way to celebrate Galentine’s together.
