The WIB Program is leveraging Paradigm Marketing and Designs' Table for Four virtual lunchtime events each Monday and Wednesday from 12 to 1 p.m. Grab your lunch and hop on a Zoom group, each with 4 guests. We’ll chat, connect and keep our positivity flowing!
Paradigm will ensure that there are exclusive WIB “tables” at each event. To register for a WIB table, be sure to select a “Women In Business Member” ticket upon registration.
You can reserve your seat for one day, two days, or as many as you want! Expect instructions and the names of your tablemates the business day before the event.
Please note: Reservations close on the previous Thursday at noon for Monday events, and Monday at noon for Wednesday events so Paradigm has time to set up the tables
We look forward to seeing YOU at a Table for Four!

Since our highly successful Women in Golf Program has been postponed until social distancing eases, we thought it would be fun to have informal virtual golf foursomes! If you have a Playstation or XBox you can download the Game "Golf Club 2019". We will coordinate foursome matches and if you have a headset, you will be able to have networking conversations throughout the match! Matches take about 45 minutes so we will book in hour blocks!
Golf Club 2019 helps you learn which clubs to use in which situations and golf etiquette. We hope you can join us!

Virtual Networking with MDINC
Multiple Dates
While this event is absolutely free, I frequently donate to Project Kind—an organization that provides food and clothing to the homeless and those in need. I also donate to Columbia University Irving Medical Center in NYC. You are welcomed to Venmo me (@MonicaDema) and I can make a larger contribution, but it is not required. The goal is to build our community.

Divorce is tough on everyone, especially kids. It’s important to ensure that your family’s custody agreement provides the best situation for your children. This webinar will cover the various types of custody, parenting time arrangements and child support. These crucial factors in your child’s care are dependent on each other. We’ll help you navigate them and offer a better understanding on how your decision will impact your child after your divorce. In addition, Rosanne will guide you through many of the difficulties parents face when going through divorce.

Payments Landscape During Covid-19
5/26 @11AM
The coronavirus pandemic is having a major impact on the payments industry, as consumers and businesses have been forced to drastically change their purchasing habits while keeping customers safe. The world of business in the aftermath of coronavirus will look far different than before the pandemic. In person transactions will become more seamless, contactless and online payments more robust, secure, sophisticated, and ubiquitous in our changed, post-corona reality.
