Who We Are
About WisOwners
Mission
We develop enhanced personal and business relationships in a welcoming learning environment.
Vision
We aim to be Wisconsin’s premier resource for businesses statewide.
Wisconsin Business Owners (WisOwners), formerly the “Communicators Networking Group,” is an affiliation of business owners based in Southeastern Wisconsin — new and veteran alike, and anyone interested in becoming an entrepreneur.
We meet for a fantastic lunch once a month to share experiences and referrals, and to learn. The group is professional yet informal, with concentrations of technology, marketing, and business coaching professionals.
There are no quotas on leads or referrals — we simply get to know one another personally and professionally, as resources in our areas of expertise. The only requirement: be a business owner or aspiring entrepreneur.
What to Expect
