Who We Are
Women Business Opportunities Connection is a volunteer-run organization that has supported women in business across Central New York for more than 30 years. Our mission is to support and advance the success of women in business by creating meaningful opportunities for connection, learning, and visibility.
Led by dedicated volunteers, WBOC brings together women who believe in collaboration over competition. Through monthly programs and community partnerships, we create spaces where women can build relationships, gain confidence, and grow personally and professionally while strengthening the broader community.
How We Support Women in Business
WBOC provides a welcoming environment where women can connect, learn, and be seen. Our monthly programs feature relevant educational topics and intentional networking designed to foster real relationships and practical takeaways.
Members also benefit from marketing and promotional opportunities within our organization, as well as collaboration with other women and local organizations that support entrepreneurship and professional growth. Everything we do is designed to help women build strong networks, expand their reach, and feel supported at every stage of their journey.
Who WBOC Is For
WBOC is for women in business at every stage and across every industry. Our community includes entrepreneurs, small business owners, and women employed in a wide range of organizations, working full-time or part-time.
Our members represent different backgrounds, experiences, and ages, but share a common mindset. A desire to grow, to connect, and to support one another. Whether you are just starting out or have years of experience, WBOC offers a place to belong, contribute, and grow alongside other women who are invested in your success.
We invite you to join us at a monthly program and experience the power of connection within the WBOC community.
