Join Women in the Industry for a September Lunchtime Perspective into Your WHY

Grab your lunch and join us online to connect with your peers. These interactive events offer the chance to connect with fellow women from both the retail and supply sides of the lumber and building materials industry. Gain fresh perspectives, ask questions, and share insights—all while developing strategies that support both personal and professional growth.


During our September meeting we'll continue to focus on The POWER of WHY. When you know your WHY, you can navigate the WAY—and even enjoy it! Teri Trask, Enthusiologist Extraordinaire, will lead us in tapping into our WHY, helping you align your head, heart, and feet in the same direction.
