ABWA Big Sky Chapter

05/01/2026

Looking for a supportive, inspiring group of women to connect with? We’d love to invite you to join us at our next ABWA meeting and experience what this amazing group is all about! ✨

Join us on Wednesday, May 13th at Montana City Grill for an evening of networking, conversation, and growth.

We’ll also have a guest speaker covering a topic many of us are facing—Burnout.

In today’s fast-paced work environment, increasing demands are taking a toll on individuals and teams alike. Burnout isn’t just a buzzword—it’s real, it’s costly, and it can have a major impact on business success. This is a great opportunity to learn how to recognize it and respond effectively.

Come meet a great group of women, make new connections, and take away insights you can put into practice.

📅 Wednesday, May 13, 2026
🕒 5:30 pm Networking & 6:00 pm Meeting & Speaker
📍 Montana City Grill

To RSVP, please email [email protected] by May 8th!
We hope to see you there!
