WBEC West

🌟 Unconventional Women's Conference Recap! 🌟

We're thrilled to share a recap of the Unconventional Women's Conference we held yesterday in Newport Beach, organized by WBEC-West. This event was a wonderful opportunity to connect, laugh, and network while sailing on an electric boat.
A special thank you to Heather Heacox our California Community Development & Engagement Specialist, and the CA Forum leaders for their hard work. We also want to extend our gratitude to our new VP, Vasanti Kumar, and specialist, Chiikajah Boykin who flew down to be a part of the UWC event.
After the boat ride, we gathered at the Whaler Restaurant where we heard inspiring success stories from several of our corporate members who have collaborated with our WBEs.
📸 Check out some moments from the event:

Also, thank you to Southern California Gas Company, Southern California Edison, AT&T, Liberty Utilities, US Bank, SRP, JP Morgan Paramont, Sony Pictures, and Metropolitan Water District.

Together, we're fostering a vibrant and inclusive business community!
