Introducing the 2010-2011 Women in Business Directory

We hope you can join us this Thursday for a fun evening of networking as we release our newest publication, the 2010-2011 Women in Business Directory.

It has been years since the metro area had a business directory dedicated to women-owned and managed businesses. With nearly half of businesses in the northwest owned by women, we’re excited to be bringing this to the marketplace.

It happens tomorrow evening (Thursday, October 21st), 6 PM – 8 PM, Red Cross Building/E. B. Hamilton Hall 605 Barnes, Vancouver at the Fort Vancouver National Site.

Cost is just $10.00 per person, advance registration is recommended by going to www.vbjusa.com/womens-directory-registration.php.

Can’t make it? Watch for a copy of the Directory in your October 29th edition of the Vancouver Business Journal.

Meet Your Neighbors

In today’s economy, keeping track of who the players are can be a difficult task. With that in mind, we’re introducing a new video feature in today’s Just Business called Meet Your Neighbors.

We hope this feature helps your company stay informed about the businesses around us.

Today, we spotlight a brand new business – Neighbors Market in downtown Vancouver.

The market doesn’t open until next week, so we wanted to get a sneak preview of what they’re all about.
