Networking that inspires, educates, and motivates
Monthly Networking Luncheons
Come join with like-minded local businesswomen on the second Wednesday of each month for VWIB Luncheons.
We believe in creating a welcoming and supportive environment for all members and guests so that together we can build stronger and more meaningful relationships both personally and professionally.
You’ll get to catch up with old friends, network with other supportive women entrepreneurs, and find your community.
These luncheons provide opportunities for connection, collaboration and growth that will help you become more successful in your career.
Vernon Women in Business is a place to be welcomed and to belong!
I was only in Vernon Women in Business (VWIB) for about 3 months when I was asked by the current president —Mikkie Pollon Nettles to join in as Vice President back in June 2023. I wasn’t sure what I was getting into but knew I really enjoyed the current group of leaders and being fairly new to Vernon wanted to contribute and get to know people. I knew I was in good hands with the group of women leading that would continue to lead.
Last year was a re-building year, with its share of discouragement and change in venues and attempts to grow after COVID, and we persevered with ups and downs. June 2024 we had 3 new step ups in our Exec which gave us a boost and encouragement to move into the fall of 2024 with fresh energy and optimism.
Fall of 2024 has started off positively—a fresh start! We’ve been in Cactus Club, with very low cost of registration and a great opportunity to network. VWIB continues to lean into our mission of providing networking that Educates, Inspires, and Motivates. We’ve seen many new relationships formed and business passed back and forth at our 2nd Wednesday of the month lunches.
