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.
