Our inaugural board, a group of dynamic women, your contributions are invaluable, and we extend heart felt thanks for accepting our invitation to be a part of the vision.”

 

2020 has been a year of ups and downs but despite the issues that COVID 10 has brought to the world, WCCIG was still able to bring many things to the table:

  • Educational and Awareness Webinars
  • Giving back to the community
  • Motivational videos online
  • Feature of Women Entrepreneurs

 

Vice President WCCIG stated:  “I am so motivated by the eagerness and focus of our new Board and look forward to working with our various local, regional and international partners in achieving our goals for the year ahead.   When women focus on getting the task done together, there is so much that we can achieve.”
