Business Ignition Group (BIG)

It’s a BIG Deal!

A Business Ignition Group (BIG) is forming! We’re looking for 8 to ten women who are ready to take their professional skills to the next level.

Through a guided round table session once a month, you can participate in a forum that is designed to offer you BIG opportunities. Present your own business or workplace challenge, receive ongoing coaching, feedback, and support, develop deeper relationships, and achieve BIG goals in 2010 – 2011.

What keeps you up at night? Is it sales and marketing issues? Operating challenges? Personnel issues? Financial concerns? Career questions? Join this Business Ignition Group and use the team as your business sounding board. Imagine having your own team of advisors who care about you and your success, who nudge you, encourage you, and celebrate you as you set and achieve your personal and business goals.

Who Qualifies? Business Ignition Groups are open only to WBE members. Applications are due by the June breakfast. The Business Ignition Group Committee will review all applications to ensure that the BIG team is composed of like-minded women who share similar challenges and goals.

Co-facilitated by Maryann Nelson and Cindy Clay.
