MAWB Network Information

Established Jan 8, 2018, the Mississauga & Area Women in Business (MAWB) is the fastest-growing, most dynamic networking group for women based out of Mississauga. The members of MAWB, also known as MAWBsters, are local women, from Mississauga and the surrounding communities, who come together to support each other’s businesses, offer advice and encouragement, and foster both business relationships and real friendships. With organized activities, both in-person and virtual, the members get to know each other on a personal level first, rather than just as a potential client pool. Aggressive sales tactics are actually dissuaded, but Theme Days exist on the Facebook Group Page to promote your business. The Facebook Group boasts an incredibly active and engaged community, with an over 80% participation rate from group members. Its current incarnation was established by Christine Hull at the beginning of 2018. The group has since experienced exponential growth and morphed into a dynamic group of active, engaged women from all walks of life, in all types of businesses. Whether you are part of an MLM as a “side hustle” to your day job or to supplement family income, a business professional, or an employee of a larger company looking to expand your network, there is a place for you in the MAWB! Activities include: * Regularly planned events: a Monthly Meet Up, with a variety of organized networking activities such as Speed Networking or a Member’s Marketplace; * A monthly Ladies Night Out, often showcasing the businesses of one or two group members; * And other, more spontaneous activities, such as one-on-one coffee dates between members, non-coffee dates (i.e., cocktails!), golf outings, or even Networking Playdates for moms with young kids. * Meet the MAWBster, a Zoom call to learn in-depth about members and the services they offer; * Educational Zoom calls with tips on everything from improving networking skills to Social Media marketing; * Group charitable activities
