Whatcom Women in Business (WWiB) was established in 1978, and is one of the oldest and most encompassing professional development sources for business women. It is the goal of WWiB to promote a positive image of professional women in business while developing leadership skills, strength through mutual support, mentoring and opportunities for business and personal growth. 

Whatcom Women in Business supports and promotes education by hosting a monthly educational speaker series and offering educational scholarships each year to women desiring to further their education. Each year, we host the WWIB Professional Woman of the Year Celebration. The event has grown in recognition and stature over the years and draws hundreds of people who come to honor the communities’ professional women.

OUR MISSION

Whatcom Women in Business is comprised of business owners and managers developing and maintaining proactive role models within the organization and the community at large. Through teaching, learning, leadership and peer support, we strive to exemplify and promote the four areas we honor - leadership, professionalism, mentoring, and community.
