Holland's Community for
Women in Business
Real Women. Real Business. Real Connection.
Meaningful Relationships. Local visibility. Real momentum.
This Is More Than Networking
Holland Women’s Business Network was created for women who want real relationships — not forced referrals or surface-level small talk. We believe consistent connection builds stronger businesses and stronger communities.
HWBN brings together women who work or live in the Holland area through casual meetups, structured events, and an active online community designed to foster genuine visibility and support.
• Coffee & Chat gatherings
• Luncheons & guest speakers
• Local collaboration & nonprofit support
• Ongoing online connection
How To Get Involved
HWBN offers multiple ways to connect, depending on where you are in your business journey.
Coffee & Chat
Our monthly Coffee & Chat gatherings are casual, welcoming meetups designed for real conversation. No formal pitches. No pressure. Just consistent connection with local women in business.
Perfect if you're new, rebuilding your network, or simply want steady local visibility.
Luncheons & Special Events
Luncheons and curated events offer structured opportunities for learning, collaboration, and deeper connection within the Holland business community.
These gatherings spotlight local leaders, nonprofits, and meaningful business conversations.
Online Community
Our private online community keeps the momentum going between events — introductions, referrals, collaboration, and encouragement.
Join the group to stay connected and informed about upcoming opportunities.
