Women's Finance

The BNI Capital Business Alliance is a business and professional networking organization for all industry leaders. We are one of the top BNI groups in the region, focused on building business relationships and friendships that lead to growing each others business. We meet every Wednesday morning to build relationships, showcase our services, and meet new people! We welcome all visitors who are looking to expand their referral networks and grow their business. There is no fee for visiting our lite fare breakfast meeting and if your business category is open in our chapter you can learn more about how to become a member and join us every week! We are very active outside of our Wednesday morning meetings as well! We host member-only events regularly and are always out and about networking at other events. Due to COVID-19 circumstances our meetings are currently being held virtually through a Virtual Zoom Meeting from 7:30 - 9:00 am. A link to the meeting will be sent to you once you register as Attending on Meetup. We can't wait to meet you! Be prepared to tell us all about your business!

This International Women’s Day, we’re celebrating more than beauty - we’re celebrating confidence. ⭐️Empowerment doesn’t always start with a big life change. Sometimes it starts with something simple, like looking in the mirror and loving what you see. When your hair feels good, you carry yourself differently. You walk taller. You speak more confidently. You show up fully as yourself. ‍♀️This workshop is about giving women the tools to feel put-together, polished, and powerful — not by using a million products or complicated techniques, but by truly understanding their own hair. Ever wonder why your hair never looks the same at home as it does when you leave the salon? Or why your color never lasts? maybe you have hair thinning or just don't know what style looks good on you? This relaxed, beginner-friendly workshop will show you how to actually care for and style your hair without needing a million products or fancy tools. Join us inside CJ Beauty Hair Salon for a fun, interactive Hair Care 101 session led by a professional hairstylist. You’ll learn simple, real-life techniques you can use right away. Also a chance to mingle with other ladies and make new friends. What You’ll Gain: ✅️ 5-10 min hair consultation for every lady. ✅ How to care for your specific hair type ✅ How to style your hair so it lasts longer ✅ Easy routines for healthier, better-looking hair ✅ Questions and Answer Session Whether your hair is curly, straight, thick, fine, or “I have no idea what my hair is” — this session is for you. ️ $10 fee to reserve your spot Refreshments and drinks served Come for the hair tips, stay for the snacks, leave with better hair days ahead. See you there!
