About PEIBWA and Conversation Corner

The Prince Edward Island Business Women’s Association (PEIBWA) is a dynamic network of women entrepreneurs and business professionals from across PEI.

The organization’s membership represents women at all stages of their careers and businesses - from start-up entrepreneurs, established business owners, and mid-career business professionals, to dynamic rural entrepreneurs, newcomers launching their businesses, students, and more.

A member-based not-for-profit organization, PEIBWA has a mandate to educate, empower and inspire PEI women to succeed in their business endeavours.

It is the only women’s business association with an Island-wide mandate in the province and has a membership of some 540 women entrepreneurs and business professionals. PEIBWA provides advisory services, training, opportunities for development, and connections with other women in business.

Conversation Corner began as a small gathering around the kitchen table at Rural Women's Business Centre in Central Bedeque in November 2019 and continues as an informal and informative platform for women in business to learn and share.
