CBWN Owners/Directors, Debbie Van Camp & Ilona Makar

Welcome to the Calgary Business Women Network!

Excited to introduce myself! I'm the co-owner and founder of the CBWN, Connected Business Network Canada, and my journey with our amazing community began back in 2009. I started our group from 60 business women and teamed up with my awesome business partner to make it what it is today with a wide reach and great appeal for those wanting to connect and build their business in safe and nurturing community.

I'm a true-blue Calgarian, born, raised, and educated right here in this fantastic city. I've been running successful businesses for years including my current role as Team Lead and clothing Stylist with cabi clothing, selling over $1million, which has allowed me to build some incredible relationships and share those connections, knowledge and skills with our community.

Back when I attended my first networking meeting in '09, I got hooked instantly. I saw the potential this organization had for my business and the opportunities it could offer for networking. Plus, I knew I could introduce other awesome women to CBWN and make a difference in their professional and personal lives.

My motto is simple: dream big, and make it happen. Our members are the driving force behind our success. With my passion for CBWN and the awesome women in our community, we have been a constant in the networking landscape. Our CBWN motto is that we provide the NET in networking, a safe place to land.

I'm convinced that when you attend one of our meetings, you'll leave with a renewed sense of excitement for your business and some solid contacts to help it grow. The CBWN community is where it's at! It's a place where we share ideas, make great friends, and celebrate new beginnings. I'm excited to keep being inspired by this fantastic community.

Join us on this journey of growth, empowerment, and friendship. CBWN is the key to unlocking your personal and professional success, and together, we can achieve incredible things!

Testimonials

  • This was my first time attending this luncheon and it was so great to receive such a warm welcome. Ilona & Debbie are such real genuine ladies. And they both have a great sense of humour. The ladies I met were wonderful as well. I will be back!
