Our Mission
“To create a vibrant community of like-minded small business people and expand their network, grow their business, and be a positive influence within our community.”
ABOUT WEST K WOMEN OF INFLUENCE
The West K Women of Influence was established over 20 years ago, and started by Marci Paynter whose family has lived in the Okanagan since the 1920’s. Like Marci, our group is a vibrant and growing organization made up of enterprising people in the Okanagan Valley. Our organization shares a common desire to give back to our communities through the use of our special talents, unique products, as well as donation of our time and resources. Women come from far and wide to be part of our group because we are inspiring, relaxed and fun to be around and they know that when they show up they will be welcomed with open arms.
Expand Your Business
Our group provides a platform for collaborative partnerships, skill sharing and mentorship. As optimistic, successful women, we thrive when we come together. By supporting and empowering each other we create a community where we help one another grow, elevate our businesses, and achieve even greater success. Together, we are unstoppable! .
Foster Community Connections
Be part of a group that believes that together we create and nurture an environment where women entrepreneurs, professionals and leaders can come together to overcome challenges women often face in the business world. Not only do we support one another, we collaborate with others in the community to advance our careers and businesses.
Fulfillment Through Philanthropy
Fulfillment arises from a sense of connection through gratitude and philanthropy. This enhances our sense of purpose, knowing that our actions can create meaningful change in the lives of others. Together, gratitude and philanthropy cultivate a cycle of fulfillment. We believe that the more we give the more we receive – both in joy and in peace of mind.
