About this Event

Women Business Owners of Umatilla County is launching a new peer network for women who own a business—or are actively preparing to start one.

Business ownership can be rewarding, challenging, and often isolating. This group was created to provide a space where women business owners can connect honestly, share experiences, and support one another through meaningful conversation and relationship-building.

This inaugural gathering will focus on connection, introductions, and a guided discussion around the realities of business ownership. There will be no sales pitches or formal speakers—just thoughtful conversation among peers.

While rooted in Umatilla County, this group welcomes women business owners from neighboring communities, including Morrow County.
