As we gear up for our upcoming meeting, we’re excited to announce that our May gathering will be held on May 8, from 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm Calgary time. This meeting will take place online, allowing us to connect from the comfort of our own spaces.

With Mother’s Day approaching in Canada, we want to take this opportunity to acknowledge and celebrate all the incredible mothers among our members. We recognize the immense juggling act many of you perform daily, balancing work, business, family, and self-care. It’s a testament to your strength and resilience.

In line with this theme, our meeting will focus on the importance of self-care and well-being. We’ll delve into strategies to navigate the challenges of everyday life while prioritizing our mental, emotional, and physical health.

We’re thrilled to announce that Ewa Goudie, a fellow businesswoman, mother, wife, and wearer of many hats, will join us as a presenter. Ewa brings a wealth of experience from the health sector and education, offering valuable insights into how we can better care for ourselves amidst life’s demands.

Join us for an enriching discussion and practical tips that will empower you to embrace self-care as an essential part of your journey. Let’s come together to celebrate each other and honour our incredible roles in our personal and professional lives.

Please mark your calendars for May 8th at 6:00 pm Calgary time.
