2026 - Q3 Women Business Owner's Council meeting

The Women Business Owners Council (WBOC) supports established women entrepreneurs as they grow, scale, and strengthen their businesses across Southeastern North Carolina. Programming focuses on business development, strategic growth, and long-term sustainability through high-value learning opportunities, peer-to-peer exchange, and practical guidance for the unique challenges women business owners face.

Membership is open to women business owners in Southeastern North Carolina who are members of the Wilmington Chamber of Commerce. To participate, businesses must have been operating for at least one year and employ at least one W-2 or 1099 team member.

In September, the council will focus on banking and legal considerations that support long-term business success. This session will explore the value of building strong relationships with your banker and attorney, how to evaluate financial and legal partners, and when to seek guidance before challenges arise. Attendees will gain a better understanding of how these relationships can help protect their businesses, support growth, and provide peace of mind as they plan for the future.

We extend sincere thanks to sponsor Brooke Skipper and Salt Air Heating and Cooling for their continued support. We are also grateful for the leadership of 2026 Chair Sabrina Davis of Port City Signs and Co-Chair Stephanie Bolton of Patriot Roofing.
