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 | Inaugural Service Project

Join us for a meaningful day of connection, service and impact as the Business Women’s Forum launches its inaugural service project in partnership with The Road Home. Rooted in BWF’s mission to influence positive change, this hands-on experience brings our community together to support local families while making a tangible difference.

Volunteers will help serve lunch to approximately 200 individuals and families, assist with donation sorting and create a joyful, welcoming environment through interactive children’s activity stations. From a festive “Happy Unbirthday” theme to bubbles, face painting, reading nooks and more, this event is designed to bring moments of fun and care to those who need it most. 

There are multiple ways to get involved–whether you’re rolling up your sleeves to serve meals, organizing donations, or leading a creative activity station.

If you are interested in volunteering, please fill out the form here

If you cannot attend but would like to contribute, please view the Amazon Wishlist for the event. 

Come ready to connect with fellow women leaders and be part of something special as we build a new tradition of service and community impact within the Business Women’s Forum.
