The Comox Valley Women’s Business Network (WBN) speaker for April is Colleen Evans, director of Vancouver Island Economic Alliance. She is also president/CEO of the Campbell River Chamber of Commerce.
Evans will speak on the Link Project. From all corners of the Island and in all sectors, Vancouver Island businesses want opportunities to collaborate, communicate, network and share best practices, resources and information.
An economic summit is held each year. The idea is to gather business, community and government leaders to share ideas, ask questions, network, learn about new initiatives and explore opportunities. The goal is to add vitality to the Vancouver Island economy.
Join the WBN at the Coast Westerly Hotel Thursday, April 10 at 5:30 p.m.
