We Make Waves!
Welcome! Did you know that Coastal Women in Business is not just for business owners? Our purpose is to support and unite women from diverse backgrounds inclusively, in a wide array of careers and job sectors. Network, make community connections, learn and grow with us! Maybe you’re thinking about starting a business… or retired and have wisdom to share… Consultants, craftswomen, partners, home based, non profit reps, volunteers, employees or managers, women in trades, real estate, finance, sales… the list goes on. Level up while getting to know like-minded women. Non binary? No problem. We look forward to meeting you all.
