It takes a community to create a community.

Our final Coffee & Connection of 2026 is bringing together more than just incredible women in business. It's bringing together local businesses, community leaders, and collaborators who are helping create an intentional morning of connection, visibility, and opportunity.

As we prepare to wrap up the year before our December winter break, we're especially excited to highlight the women and businesses contributing to this experience!

What are you building before the year is over, and what would help you get there?

Come ready to share your goals, discover new businesses, make meaningful connections, and find opportunities to support one another.

We're also inviting everyone to embrace our VCBW fall color palette for the morning: deep green, cream, camel, charcoal, chocolate, deep berry, and plum.

Let's finish the year doing what this community was built for: connecting, supporting, and creating opportunities together.

Which local business or woman would you love to bring into the room? Tag her below!

10/27/2026

We've been building something bigger than a networking community.

Ventura County Business Women has been connecting women since 2018, but in 2022, we began taking a more intentional approach to what this community could become.

We started looking beyond just bringing women together and asking bigger questions.

How do we create meaningful connections that lead to real opportunities? How can we make local resources more accessible? How do we build a community where women at every stage of business feel supported, included, and empowered to grow?

Over the years, we've been developing the strategies, structures, programs, and opportunities to make that vision a reality.

Today, VCBW is an evolving community ecosystem designed to help women connect, find resources, build relationships, increase visibility, and create opportunities for collaboration.

But with everything we've been building, we also recognized something important.

You need to know what's available to you and how to actually use it.

That's why we created the VCBW Community Integration Guide.

It's a starting point to help you navigate our community, explore the opportunities available, and identify where to begin based on where you are in your business journey.

Whether you're just getting started, looking to expand your network, searching for local resources, or ready to take your business to the next level, there's a place for you here.

And you don't have to do everything at once.

Start with one connection. One resource. One conversation. One opportunity.

Swipe through for a look at what we've been building and how you can make the most of this community.

Connect. Empower. Expand.

We'd love to hear from you: What are you hoping to gain from being part of the VCBW community right

10/22/2026

Sometimes the next opportunity starts with simply letting people know what you're looking for.

Maybe you're ready for a new collaboration, hoping to connect with a local retailer, looking for speaking opportunities, or wanting to meet someone in a specific industry.

Consider this your open invitation.

Tell us what kind of connection or opportunity would make a difference for your business right now.

Be specific. Share what you're building and who you'd love to connect with.

And if you see someone in the comments you could help, reply to them or tag someone who might be a great fit.

The right connection could already be part of this community.

Our LAST Coffee & Connection of 2026 is coming up, and we're making it count!

Before we head into our December winter break, we're bringing the VCBW community together for one final morning of meaningful connections, collaboration, and intentional growth.

November's Coffee & Connection is all about finishing 2026 with purpose and letting the room help you get there!

What are you building before the year is over, and what would help you get there?

Whether you're working toward a business milestone, looking for your next collaboration, or simply need to get in the room with women who understand the journey, this is your opportunity to make those connections happen.

Come ready to share your goals, ask for what you need, and discover how you might be the missing connection for another woman in the room.

We're also capturing this special morning, so we're inviting everyone to dress in our VCBW fall color palette: Deep green | Cream | Camel | Charcoal | Chocolate | Deep berry + Plum

Think elevated, comfortable, and completely YOU!

Ventura County Business Women, who’s your business bestie…your bossy babe ride-or-die?

The one who picks up.
The one who tells you the truth.
The one who reminds you what you’re capable of even when you forget for a minute.

Who’s yours…what does she say or do that keeps you going every time?

10/16/2026

You’ve been doing this long enough to know a few things.

You know what’s worth your time. You know what a bad decision can cost. You know the difference between advice that sounds good vs what actually works.

And chances are, you’ve learned things another woman would benefit from knowing sooner.

VCBW is building more conversations around the whole woman behind the business:

Business + Strategy

Money + Wealth

Health + Wellbeing

Leadership + People

Marketing + Visibility

We’re looking for established business owners and seasoned professionals who can help lead those conversations from a place of real experience.

A real conversation about what you’ve learned, what changed the way you work, and what another woman might need to hear next.

If one of these lanes is yours, DM us “CONVERSATION” and tell us what you’d want to talk about.
