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.
