As the Partnership Development Specialist for Personnel Support Programs, Canadian Forces Base Kingston I have had the opportunity to work with Gaby and Josie for just over two years. I have found the Women Mean Business Network of Eastern Ontario to be an extremely valuable resources for our organization; as it provides the opportunity for businesses to connect, do business together and continue along their path to reach their financial goals.
The Women Mean Business Network of Eastern Ontario has and continues to be extremely supportive of both the Kingston Military Family Resource Centre as well as Canadian Forces Base Kingston and we are tremendously grateful for their ongoing support.  Well Done Ladies!

Our team at The Carson House had the pleasure of partnering with Women Mean Business for a 'Social Mixer' event in support of Loving Spoonful Kingston. Not only did it provide critical exposure for my business, but it offered the perfect opportunity for our staff, and all that attended, to 'give back' to the community. Thanks to the exceptional efforts of both Gaby and Josie, the evening was a huge success. Networking with 'Women Mean Business' has been an absolute pleasure as they are both clear in their vision - to bring bright, driven women together in the pursuit of success. No need to travel the path alone with these gals at your side!
