“The Canisius Women's Business Center has offered a much-needed suite of services to mid-sized businesses like mine. The Coaching Program was especially worthwhile, and we enjoy sending our female associates to the Women's Leadership Conference every year. They would otherwise have to go to some type of national conference to get the same experience.”
“It is great to know that we have this Center available to women business owners.”
“I truly value the WBC....it is always offering different types of support and has increased my networking opportunities tremendously. I especially appreciate being a part of the Forum group which I think has fulfilled a definite need for businesses of my size.”
“It has been extremely helpful meeting with women who are business owners. There is much to learn from these women. I have been linked to another professional in my WIN group and we are going to do great things together. I am so grateful that I found her. And the other women in my group each have so much experience - both in business and in life that I look forward to our meetings each month. I only wish they were more often that once a month. I would like to meet once a week and visit other groups more than once a year.”
“The Women's Leadership Conference in 2008 was a boost to me. It brought to mind fresher ideas and resources. I did not attend Canisius myself but have learned much about what it has to offer through my children - two who have graduated, one who is a sophomore and one who has been accepted for the fall. Three of them are females so I hope they take advantage after graduation as well.” - Christine Schuster, Office Manager, Schuster Construction, LLC
“The enthusiasm, commitment and passion of the Women's Business Center women! is extraordinary- they are what makes this experience rewarding and valuable.” - Tara Welty, Owner, Great Blue Heron Healing Arts
