Welcome to the Women’s Leadership Circle®
At the Women's Leadership Circle® (WLC) our goal is to connect you with remarkable business, community and political leaders through our high-calibre speaker events, exclusive roundtables, hosted WLC tables and more.
As a WLC member we encourage you to engage with other members, support women leaders when they speak, and bring men to hear the issues that concern women. Change will happen faster when we understand each other better. We would love for you to volunteer for committees where you want to make a difference whether it be in the areas of early childhood development, sustainability or small business initiatives. The best part is that when you join the WLC, you are not only connected to 2,000 WLC members, but you are now connected to the rest of The Board's diverse and far-reaching network.

At the boardroom table with Evi Mustel
It’s a gorgeous autumn day in Vancouver. We are meeting with Evi Mustel at her office located at the entrance to Granville Island.

Goal
The Vancouver Board of Trade’s Women’s Leadership Circle® (WLC) is designed to deliver programs, speakers, topics and other events that will enable The Board of Trade be more engaged with women in the community and to help women feel more engaged with The Board.
Make a difference
WLC offers unique opportunities for women to be involved in the social and political issues The Board tackles, as well as outstanding relationship-building and networking activities.
Meet the leaders
"The Women’s Leadership Circle is designed to help identify programs, speakers, topics and other events that will help The Vancouver Board of Trade be more engaged with women in the community,” says Sue Paish, CEO of Pharmasave and past chair of the WLC Advisory Council.
"When you sit with other like-minded people – and we can use the Women’s Leadership Circle® as a perfect metaphor – you start to realize that you have similar concepts and desires, and that there is noting more empowering than making a difference."
