Events
We are all operating in a changed environment; the pandemic has affected how we connect and communicate. Business Sisters continues to innovate, taking its conferences and events online. This means creating new opportunities to exchange stories and getting to the heart of what it means to be a rural woman in business in our region. As the boundaries of geography and language fall away, we discover knowledge, share our similarities and learn from each other.

Get It DONE Workshops
If you’ve been struggling for time to work ON your business (not just IN it), join one of our GET IT DONE workshops. Meant to help you tackle those essential, but oh-so difficult tasks, you will feel in control of your success. We’ll take you through the steps so that you can plan for the future, establish operating procedures or create a plan for your social media branding.
Annual Conference
With COVID, we are looking to take our popular Business Sisters Conference online! Now we know you shouldn’t be sitting in front of a computer the whole day, so sessions will be spread over several days. Details are still being worked out, but rest assured our interactive Q&As, break-out sessions and cool online platform will help you feel invigorated and inspired!
