About the event
What does it take to create space where none existed before? To lead boldly, grow through discomfort, and build community while breaking through barriers? 💪
At this month’s Nanaimo Women’s Business Network (NWBN) Dinner, we’re beyond excited to welcome two powerhouse guest speakers:
👊 Tanya Henderson – the first full-time female coach in CFL history
👏 Jaimie Braybrook – a leader in athletics, academics, and girls' youth football
These two inspiring women have helped shape the future of female tackle football in Canada—but their stories go far beyond the game. 🏈✨
Join us for an evening of powerful takeaways and genuine connection, where sport meets business, and leadership meets legacy.
