Women’s Networking Night

Join us on Wednesday, September 30th from 5:30–7:30 PM at the Billy Barr in Mt. Crested Butte for our September Women’s Networking Night! This month, we’re excited to gather at the Billy Barr, the cozy, tucked-away bar at Elevation Hotel in Mt. Crested Butte. With its warm mountain atmosphere and relaxed setting, it’s the perfect spot to grab a drink, meet new people, catch up with familiar faces, and connect with women from across the valley. Worried about parking? Take the free RTA bus from just about anywhere in the valley! https://www.gunnisonvalleyrta.com/free-bus-schedule Women’s Networking Nights (WNN) take place on the last Wednesday of each month and are all about creating space for the women of the Gunnison Valley to connect, build relationships, and support one another—both personally and professionally. Each month, we rotate locations between Crested Butte, Almont, and Gunnison, keeping things fresh and accessible across the valley. Invite your friends, colleagues, and coworkers, and help us spread the word about this growing community and monthly opportunity to connect. We can’t wait to see you there! ??
