Member Events
CAWEE inspires people to come together!
Monthly Morning and Noon meetings
Morning meetings, held online the second Thursday morning of each month, are a key benefit of CAWEE membership. Start your day with an informative, timely and fun meeting from 7:30 to 9:00! You will find 30-40 members and guests in attendance ready to build on their relationships with you.
In addition to the morning meeting, you'll be able to attend CAWEE Power Hour at noon on on the fourth Thursday of the month (no meetings in July and August). Bring your lunch and build relationships with other members and guests. You may be chosen for the CAWEE Podcast interview!
Along with an opportunity for each attendee to present a 20-second infomercial, you will participate in smaller breakout sessions which members rave about - their favourite parts of both meetings.
A variety of CAWEE members take turns hosting these sessions so expect to see a variety of faces in in this role.
Special Events
CAWEE likes creative outdoor events as well as the
traditional holiday galas. Members have recently enjoyed:
· "CAWEE's 50th Gala
· “Voyageur Canoe Trip” to Toronto Island (pictured here) followed by some fun networking and a delicious dinner
· "Heritage Hustle" at Black Creek Pioneer Village followed by lunch
Join us to see what is next!
After Work Events
After Work Events are an integral part of the CAWEE experience. We hold two or three informal get-togethers each year in addition to our annual Open House. These evening events also serve as fundraisers for our charity of choice.
After Work Events provide a chance to network with like minded women in a casual environment and enjoy some refreshments in a central Toronto location. Events normally run for one and a half to two hours starting at 5:30.
Our annual Open House offers an opportunity to welcome guests and highlight the benefits of CAWEE for those new to the association and possibly considering membership.
