Conversation Corner is our informal gathering, typically held at the kitchen table at PEIBWA's Rural Women's Business Centre. We are now taking the conversation online every Friday, and everyone is welcome to join us through the free and easy-to-navigate Zoom Meetings platform!

For the Friday, April 3 session of Conversation Corner, we will welcome Virginia (Ginny) McGowan. Ginny is a local business owner, McGowan & Co.: The Write Edit Group, with expertise in research and analysis, editing, writing, or developing grant applications. She is also the author of the multi-award winning book: "Harness the Power of Mentoring: How to Find and Work with the Right Mentor--A Guide for the Solopreneur".

Ginny is also a member of the Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada’s Women Entrepreneurship Strategy Expert Panel. This panel is composed of experts from across Canada to provide advice and identify opportunities and challenges for women entrepreneurs. In response to the current pandemic, the panel has engaged very recently with recommendations to protect and strengthen women entrepreneurs through the pandemic.

Ginny will join us to discuss issues the expert panel has brought forward during this pandemic including the impact the temporary closure of schools, daycare centres and eldercare facilities have affected working women. She will also talk about her own experience as a business owner and how she is adapting to the current challenges.

Conversation Corner is a FREE program offered by the PEI Business Women's Association (PEIBWA) and both members and non-members are welcome to attend.

After you register to attend, you will be provided with a Zoom meeting link to join the session.
