WOMEN'S LEADERSHIP NETWORK
MISSION STATEMENT:
The Women’s Leadership Network (WLN) is a professional program focused on aligning women of the Greater Bridgeport Region with opportunities that promote leadership, empower decisions, and contribute to the economic growth of our region. We do this by creating impactful connections and engaging women in a dialogue on relevant topics in support of their efforts to achieve their professional goals and elevate their personal brands.
ABOUT THE WLN:
Women’s Leadership Network Initiatives:
Engage, Empower, Elevate
The WLN welcomes any individuals who identify as women and who live, work, or play in the Greater Bridgeport region. This community is designed to bring women together in a safe space to connect and learn from each other. We have events once a month, except August, alternating between socials and roundtable discussions. Dates and details for future WLN events can be found on our BRBC event page.
Any women can attend any of our events – WLN members attend for free, non-members pay a small drop-in rate. WLN annual membership is $75 ($45 for employees of BRBC member organizations). We are a diverse and inclusive group looking to expand our network.
