CWIB Luncheon February 24, 2026

Join us for another great Connecting Women in Business luncheon on Tuesday, February 24, at the Inn at Bay Harbor, 3600 Village Harbor Drive, Bay Harbor. Our theme is "Vital Connections: Resources for Recovery and Hope.”

Success in business is built on the well-being of our people. This program brings together a panel of experts to discuss how we build a community where everyone has the chance to thrive.  Joining us are Caitlin Koucky of Community Recovery Alliance, Barbara Weston of Harbor Hall and Stephanie Light of Kiersten’s Ride.

From suicide prevention education to comprehensive addiction treatment and community-based recovery support, learn how these organizations are saving lives and how the business community can play a pivotal role in promoting a culture of hope and healing. Together, we will learn how to foster a recovery-friendly culture and build a more resilient, compassionate Northern Michigan.

Cost is $35 for CWIB members and $45 for all others. PLEASE NOTE - Registration closes Thursday, February 19 at 5:00 p.m. Any cancellations or no-shows after this time will be charged.
