Inspire & Aspire:
In-Person Networking Events
Inspire & Aspire events are live networking meetups for Catholic women business owners, professionals, and leaders. They are hosted locally by Catholic women, with the support of the CWIB team.
Attendees may be entrepreneurs or professionals who work for other organizations. They may work full time or part time, in the home or outside it. They all have one thing in common: a desire to live out the universal call to holiness as a Catholic woman in business.

Attend an Event
In lieu of promoting and hosting Q4 in-person events, we’re hosting a FREE virtual networking event on December 3rd at 8pm EST/ 7pm CST!
Kick off Advent by connecting with the CWIB team and other Catholic women in business as we encourage and reflect with each other at the start of a new liturgical year. We will be discussing this years theme: “Slowing Down to Hear God’s Voice.”
