The Women’s Business Council’s mission, to provide a supportive environment for business professionals to network, achieve personal growth, and contribute to the community’s betterment

One can experience a great amount of negativity when trying to navigate the business world, which to me is why the Women’s Business Council is so crucial. By holding fast to our mission, we can create a bigger, stronger network of local professional women who hold each other up, also giving women just starting out in the workplace a resource; mentors they can look up to and seek advice from, ultimately strengthening our local businesses.

Our programming focuses on shedding light on relevant issues that affect our local businesses here in Long Beach, subject matter that is intriguing and important to all valued members of our community. Adding onto that, we want to be sure to create a positive, welcoming environment for ALL members of our community, not just for women, but also the men who support our role in the business world. In the past few years, the Women’s Business Council has striven to diversify our event programming, to bring a male perspective, a male voice, to our event discussions.

In the year ahead we will also be adding philanthropic events into our calendar year of programming, ensuring that as an important resource to our community, we also take the time to give back to our community.

Please join the ladies of the Long Beach Women's Business Council at the Heart Walk on Saturday October 19th at El Dorado Park. 

Did you know that heart disease can affect anyone? It's the #1 killer in men AND women! 

Help us make an impact in the community by walking at the walk and fundraising for the American Heart Association. We have set a goal of $5,000 with the Long Beach Chamber of Commerce to fund groundbreaking science to cure heart disease and stroke. Without people like you stepping up to the place, research goes unfunded and lives in hang in the balance.
