About Us

Our Aspirations and Why
WWC's mission is to provide mainly female working professionals in Calgary access to a broad group of peers from a variety of industries. This enables us to extend our networks by drawing from a larger pool of knowledge and experiences as we pursue success in our careers and personal lives.

 

How We Achieve It
At this moment, WWC members get to attend at least three events per year: one in late January, one in May and one in September. These events are informal gatherings where invitees can drop in for a glass of wine and meet like-minded people. There is no program and no agenda, but we may change up every now and then to keep things fresh!
These events create opportunities for members to get together at no charge (excluding food and beverage). Our current membership stands at over 9,000 women, with up to 150 attendees at any given time at an event. Best of all these events are fun-filled and unstructured, which leaves it up to the individual to decide how long to stay and with whom to follow up later.
