A networking community for businesswomen of the Columbia River Gorge in Washington and Oregon.
Gorge Women in Business is a regularly meeting group centered around Hood River, Oregon. We bring together women in business who want to grow, share, and lift each other up. Founded in November 2018.
We meet monthly and quarterly, featuring speakers, networking opportunities, hot seats, Q&As, and more. Whether you're a seasoned entrepreneur or just starting out, GWiB is your community.
Open to women in business across the Columbia River Gorge in Oregon and Washington, including Hood River, The Dalles, White Salmon, and surrounding areas.
Owning your story, strategy, and offerings for what comes next
Join Gorge Women in Business for our last major event of 2026 featuring guest speaker Dr. Carol Parker Walsh.
Every business becomes known for something. Customers ask for it, word of mouth reinforces it, and your strategy and offerings grow around it. But you keep growing, too. You get better at what you do, your life changes, and what you want from your business shifts with it. What you want to be known for next may not be what built your reputation.
In this talk, you'll put three questions to your business: Is my story still current? Did I choose my strategy or inherit it? Which of my offerings would I choose again today?
Whether you're building your first chapter or entering your next one, you'll leave clear about what you want to be known for, what stays, and what is ready to evolve.
