Okanagan College, in partnership with WeBC is launching TogetHER, a new leadership and growth initiative designed to bring self-identifying women business owners, leaders and entrepreneurs together to strengthen innovation and collaboration across the Okanagan region.
Starting February 18, TogetHER will host the first of three weekly online Innovation Exchanges. These sessions are built as learning conversations co-led by local industry leaders and Okanagan College faculty, where women can learn from one another and explore new ways to grow their businesses. Topics include innovation, access to funding, leadership journeys, learning from failure, procurement opportunities and navigating change.
TogetHER will wrap up with a two-day Women’s Leadership Summit on March 5 and 6 at Okanagan College’s Vernon campus. The summit will feature panel discussions, sector-based breakout sessions and a hands-on workshop focused on building strong, strategic partnerships for women-led businesses.
Women business owners, employers and community partners are invited to join the Innovation Exchanges, the Summit or through mentorship opportunities. We look forward to learning and growing together.
TogetHER is made possible with support from the Government of Canada’s Women Entrepreneurship Strategy.
