At Coastal Women in Business we want to support our local businesses and the people who work at them because they are the heart of our community.

Following the success of our Social Media Bootcamp last Fall, we are bringing you a series of social media hands-on workshops and this session is focused on your website.

Google is the most-used search engine in the world. If your website doesn’t appear in search results when someone is looking for what your business offers, you’re missing out!

This workshop is led by fitness coach, author, and podcast host Karina Inkster. For over 10 years, the vast majority of leads in her business have come from organic (i.e. unpaid) Google search results.

The Outstanding Women in Business Awards celebrate the success and achievements of women across Powell River’s diverse business community. These awards celebrate women who have truly excelled, not only in their professional lives but also as leaders and role models in our community. While many of these women come from different industries and walks of life, they share several traits – a strong sense of self, a success-driven work ethic and the extraordinary accomplishments to show for it. Their commitment, vision and talents make them true leaders in their chosen fields.

With a keynote speaker to describe her business, vision and how her vision has progressed! You will have plenty of time to eat, enjoy and network with other business women in our great town!
