Business Women’s Forum

The Business Women’s Forum (BWF), a program of the Salt Lake Chamber, helps local businesswomen develop professionally and personally, and provides networking opportunities through a series of bi-monthly luncheons and mixers. Every event has a presentation from an accomplished local speaker, thought-provoking roundtable discussions, and spotlights a non-profit organization. Past topics have included mentorship, communication, leadership, and career development.

Ultimately, the goals of the Business Women’s Forum are to provide the following opportunities to local businesswomen:

  • Create authentic networking connections.
  • Learn about the community and share how we can influence positive change.
  • Develop professional and personal skills.
  • Recognize each other for accomplishments.

Business Women’s Forum: From Passion to Policy – Women’s Guide to Civic Participation

Your leadership doesn’t stop at the boardroom – and your involvement shouldn’t either. Join us for an engaging event exploring how your voice, vision, and values can influence meaningful change in your community. We’ll discuss how businesswomen can become active participants in the civic process. Whether you’re new to civic engagement or looking to deepen your involvement, this event will equip you with the tools, knowledge, and connections to make an impact beyond your business.
