Join us on June 23rd from 6:00 to 8:30 PM for a leadership circle with Kathy Wunder, retired Director of IT from Vancouver Police Department.

There will be an appetizer buffet plus desserts included in the price of the event ticket so that we will have time to have some food, drinks and network before and after we dive into this amazing event.

Join us for an amazing night where a veteran of the technology world will share her journey. Kathy has had a long and thriving career in technology and has raised to the highest ranks in a very male-dominated environment. Her career experiences can teach us about teamwork, unifying a vision, having a unique perspective and above all, resilience. Join us for this event where Kathy will share her experiences in a role where in most occasions, she was the only female at the table.

VanWIT is back in person on March 30 at the Fairmont Hotel Vancouver!

Join us for an interactive 90 minute session with Nicola Bentley of ClarityWorks where we will dive into the basics of mindful awareness practices. We hear a lot about mindfulness lately, but what exactly is it and how does it apply in everyday life? This interactive session will leave the audience with an understanding of the background and science and have a good platform from which to begin a personal mindfulness practice. The session will include lecture, evidence-based examples, experiential practice time and an opportunity for discussion and questions.

Tickets are on sale now - refreshments are included. Purchase your ticket here: http://ow.ly/ZEAx50I8FmJ or sign-up for a membership to receive a discounted rate: https://vanwit.ca/

*In order to ensure the safety of all guests, COVID regulations of the venue will be in place.

This is our last event of the season and - we are hoping - our last event online. We cannot wait to see you again in the Fall and for that reason, we prepared something really special to close off our online year. Join us on June 22nd from 6:00 to 7:30 PM for this amazing event with Sheila Sutherland.

Sheila will help us learn more about how to break the barriers that our own brain sometimes puts on ourselves! We will delve into how, as women, we put conscious and unconscious limits on our brains. The goal is that you walk away with strategies to use your brain in more creative and strategic ways.
