Remember the Past
Since 2000
How it all began...
In 2000, six women met for lunch at (what was then) Tauraso’s Restaurant in Frederick. They bemoaned the fact there was no business organization in Frederick singularly focused on helping women grow their businesses. Formerly known as the Women’s Focus Group, the Women’s Business Network of Frederick (WBN) formally adopted its new name and selected a logo in 2004.
What it is today...
Today, our community of women in business thrives on creating meaningful connections through shared knowledge, resources, and inspiration. What started as a small gathering has grown into a vibrant network of women who come together monthly for dynamic luncheons and quarterly after-work socials. Our luncheons provide opportunities for networking, personal growth, and business education through engaging workshops, while our after-work socials offer a relaxed space for genuine connections. At the heart of it all, the WBN is about building lasting relationships, filled with laughter and support, without the pressure of leads or sales pitches. Join us, and you’ll discover friendships that stand the test of time.
