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.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • As a host, you are responsible for securing a venue (and covering any related costs, if applicable), providing food and beverages (or organizing a potluck), promoting the event within your personal network, and facilitating the gathering. You will also reach out to the women who register for your event using the contact list provided by CWIB.

  • The CWIB team invites women from our broader community, including social media groups, newsletter subscribers, and other CWIB followers. If you invite women from your personal network, we ask that all attendees register through the CWIB website to ensure proper communication and coordination.

  • We recommend allocating approximately two hours for the event. A suggested event outline and discussion flow are provided in the Host Guide to support you in planning and hosting.

  • As the host, you are responsible for communicating with the women who have registered for your event. CWIB will provide you with their email addresses so you can share event details and reminders.

  • The CWIB team aims to provide the finalized list of registered attendees approximately one month before your event, once registration has closed.

  • We encourage you to continue meeting with your group if there is interest and to consider rotating hosting responsibilities among participants. The CWIB team will regularly refresh the discussion questions in the Host Guide to align with the liturgical seasons.
