WHAT ARE GWIB INDUSTRY CIRCLES?

Talk to people from your industry

GWiB Circles are offered to members who want to network with other GWiB members in the same industry. The GWiB Circles are various industry-specific groups of women who meet regularly to build relationships and share information. The Circles are industry-specific – meaning that the members of each Circle work in the same or similar industry. If you desire to attend a Circle, please first reach out to the Circle Leader for that particular circle to ensure that your business/employment falls within the circle industry.

*GWiB membership is required to be in the circle. Non-members are encouraged to attend GWiB events such as Book Club, Table Talks, Happy Hour, or Circle events two times for free to see if GWiB is a good fit for them.

Let's meet for happy hour!
Marketing & Media pros, we're talking to you. We chat all kinds of marketing, brainstorm ways to solve each other's problems, and drink fancy drinks/eat good food. Join us, would love to see you there!

Please note, this group is intended only for marketing or media professionals and not business owners in other industries, even those who do their own marketing.

GWiB’s Table Talks - October 2026

Support for aging loved ones! That's the evening's main topic and it's one we most of us are either dealing with now or WILL at some point.
Our two fabulous presenters this month will be Andi Nault and Deb Kooser.

Andi: "Avid Organizing is a professional home organizing company - we help clients to create functional space to navigate life's transitions with ease. Our services include de-cluttering, down-sizing, whole home organization, senior move management, and packing."

Deb: "North Star Elder Solutions provides Aging Life Care Management Services to guide and advocate or older adults and their families. We can assess needs, coordinate medical and home care, assist with senior living placement and help navigate the care system to ensure safety and peace of mind. We also offer Medical Power of Attorney and end-of-life coaching so families don't have to navigate the aging journey alone."

Its small-group setting makes Table Talks a great way to more intimately connect with fellow members, share a bit more deeply about your business, and address any challenges you may be facing.

You may even win a cool prize!
Snacks and drinks provided.

What are GWiB’s Table Talks?

GWiB’s very popular Table Talks provide an intimate place to sit around a table and learn about each woman’s business. The format is casual, with two or three women hosting the event by providing snacks and drinks and the opportunity to present their business in a “show & tell” format. Each woman attending is allowed to introduce themselves and their business. The intention is for women to have time to share the good, the bad and the ugly about their business.
