Our Mission

The Marion Women’s Business Council inspires women to reach their full potential through mentoring, networking, education, and recognition.

Marion, Ohio is a community of dynamic women leaders in business. In 1994, a group of women with a sense of need for change formed the Women’s Business Council to foster and promote self-employed entrepreneurial women and women working in the corporate environment.

The purpose was clear from the beginning.
Women need to share their experiences and network their talents.

“Making an MPACT” at November Luncheon – Location Change

Set for Monday, November 12, 2018, Lieutenant B J Gruber will outline how the Marion City Police Department is “Making an MPACT” in our city … in fact, such an impact that even the White House took notice. The Marion Women’s Business Council luncheon meeting will be from 11:30 to 1:00 at All Occasions Banquet Center, 6989 Waldo-Delaware Rd (Rt. 423 just south of Waldo). We will be in the Delaware Room, on the north side of the main building. Please note that this is a change from our normal meeting location.

Unveiled in May of 2016, the Marion Police Department’s “Marion Police and Community Together” (MPACT) initiative is an outreach program designed to create more opportunities for positive interaction between police and local residents, primarily teens and young children.  Lt. Gruber will outline the importance of the program and how the interaction – whether it’s handing out freeze pops and pool passes or providing warm hats and gloves or having lunch or hot chocolate with our area kids – will have positive, long-term effects.  He’ll also touch on the national recognition this program has brought to our community.
