Spotlight

The purpose of the WBN Business Spotlight events is to allow WBN members to showcase their businesses to fellow members who are interested in learning more.

As the host of an offsite event, you’ll be given the opportunity to showcase your business by providing the following: a tour of your business, demonstrations, information and refreshments.

As a visiting WBN member, you’ll experience a fellow member’s business up close and personal, with lots of time for asking questions and interacting with other WBN members.

Here are some of the benefits of hosting a Spotlight:

  • Newsletter write-up prior to the event and Facebook posts
  • There is an email announcement prior to your event to the membership.
  • You have a minute on our “Toonie Talks” portion of our regular members’ meeting where you can personally tell the members about your upcoming Spotlight event. (Maybe entice them with a hint of what they will experience.)
  • An opportunity to host women and let them see a part of your business the public may not see.
  • After your event, a recap of your event in the following month’s Newsletter, complete with photos.

Spotlight Applications are Now Being Accepted

The cost is $100.  To apply to host on of this year’s Spotlights, log in and go to Spotlight Application in the upper menu.

For more information, contact  Director at Large at director@wbnptbo.ca.
