The members of the WEB Alliance of Women’s Business Networks collaborate to create change towards better business, stronger communities and an enhanced business culture for women.

The WEB Alliance is a consortium of women's business networks in BC that serves as a resource for professional women's groups and women in business and the trades to connect, elevate and educate the business community.

Our member organizations work together to utilize existing resources and services and collaborate rather than compete to serve the women of BC. We work together to make the pie bigger!

What We Do

The WEB Alliance engages in various activities with the general public, the business community and the government to consult, advise, educate and support them on issues relating to our goals. Our various activities include:

  • Collaborating with, and elevating, our member organizations in BC

  • Serving as a resource for women in business

  • Consulting, advising and educating municipal, provincial and federal government

  • Hosting joint events, such as the BC Economic Forum

  • Producing reports

Current Collaborations to Support Women in Business

WE FOR SHE

The WEB Alliance is a proud event partner of this powerful and engaging working forum to grow more women leaders—in business, on boards and in growing industries. For the past four years, men and women leaders have gathered in Vancouver to commit to an action plan to help grow the economic impact of women in BC.

The 2014 BC Economic Forum resulted in "Women as a Catalyst for Growth: A BC Action Plan," which outlines practical recommendations to shape policy and create change. The 2015 forum addressed how the recommendations could be implemented and represented an unprecedented level of collaboration among government, organizations and individuals to support the advancement of women in business.

The 2016-2018 forums, called WE FOR SHE, invited young women to be part of the dialogue and create change. The forums were two of the largest collaborations of women’s organizations, companies, experts, business leaders, advocates and young women in North America.

Catalyst for Growth Regional Dialogues

Based on the success of the inaugural BC Economic Forum in 2014, Status of Women Canada funded the Catalyst for Growth project to bring dialogues to four areas of the province (Okanagan, Vancouver Island, Northern BC and the North Coast) to gain regional insight into how the economic contributions of women in BC can be supported. The WEB Alliance is a proud partner of this important initiative to develop resources and strategies to create real change throughout BC.

The regional dialogues took place in May 2015 and resulted in regional reports that outline visions, ideas and commitments to advance women.

In 2017, the project distributed the Catalyst for Growth Fund - up to $5,000 for community projects to implement the key recommendations in each community.
