✨ WBN MEMBER SPOTLIGHT: VANDYE NELSON ✨

This week, we’re excited to spotlight Vandye Nelson of the WBN Murrysville Chapter, owner of 60 Minute Missions Escape Room!

Vandye originally joined WBN nearly nine years ago as a way to connect with women business leaders and introduce a new business—and a new concept—to the area. What she found along the way was so much more.

💬 “The friendships I have made over the past nine years are invaluable.”

Today, Vandye finds joy in watching friends and families come together, have fun, and create memories at 60 Minute Missions.

And her advice to other women in business?

“Find your people! The right group will support you and encourage you in ways you never imagined. Bloom where you’re planted!”

We’re proud to have Vandye as part of WBN and the Murrysville Chapter! ❤️

👉 Head over to our blog to learn more about Vandye, her business, and her WBN journey! https://wbninc.com/wbn-blog/

Your Network Is More Than Referrals

A strong network isn’t just about exchanging business cards or getting referrals. It’s about building genuine relationships with women who support your growth.

It’s having women you can turn to for advice, celebrate wins with, learn from, collaborate with, and lean on when business gets challenging.

That’s the power of a strong professional network and the relationships we build through WBN.

👇 What’s one thing your professional network has given you beyond referrals?
