Young Women in Business (YWiB)

Young Women in Business (YWiB) is a community for emerging female leaders and young professionals who want to create their own success. We believe every woman and young professional stepping into the workforce or growing in their career should be well equipped with the proper set of tools and knowledge to reach their fullest personal and professional potential. We provide young women and professionals with events, programs and an engaged network of ambitious women, to help them become successful in their careers, take on new challenges and develop skills. In 2008, a few students at the University of British Columbia's Sauder School of Business had been attending conference and events and noticed a gap. Not enough women were featured as speakers and there was nothing addressing the unique needs and interests of young women in the workplace. An idea began to develop and very quickly grew into the vision of a network and conference for young women in business. In March 2008, the first YWiB Beyond Pink Leadership Conference was launched, highlighting inspirational speakers, workshops, and events all featuring women. YWiB continues spreading this same aspiration today with 10 chapters both cities and university chapters across Canada. With each year we grow, we are proud to support even more young women to achieve success on their own terms. We provide membership opportunities, mentorship programs, speaker panels, workshops, networking events, and the thought-provoking Beyond conference.
