What is it?
In celebration of International Women’s Day on Tuesday, March 8, the Burnaby Board of Trade is inviting business men and women to a special luncheon aimed at female leadership.
The event takes place March 11 from 11:15 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at the Executive Hotel Burnaby, 4201 Lougheed Hwy.
Who to watch for.
Premier Christy Clark is the guest of honour at this special board of trade business luncheon, and as keynote speaker, she will be talking about her experience as premier of B.C.
Why it could be a good event.
This event happens to be the soft-launch for the board of trade’s new initiative – BBOT’s women’s group. This is a new working group, made up of men and women, will support women in leadership roles by fostering important discussions, facilitating connections and advancing advocacy positions.
“This event will be an excellent opportunity for businesses of all sizes to involve their women leaders in this special event and in the creation of this new women's group,” noted a BBOT press release.
Who is it for?
The event is aimed at female leaders from businesses of all sizes. It’s also a great opportunity for women interested in learning more about the BBOT’s women’s group.
How much are tickets and where can I get them?
Tickets are $65 each or $625 for a table of 10 for board of trade members; and $95 each and $925 for a table of 10 for non-members. To register for the event, call 604-412-0100, email [email protected] or visit tinyurl.com/BBOTluncheon.
