Company to launch this fall

Women in business in the Golden Horseshoe of southern Ontario will soon see a new magazine aimed at them. Company, which is to debut this fall is the creation of Company of Women, a 370 member service organization that offers various programs and services including such things as monthly dinners in Oakville and Toronto, breakfast meetings in Burlington and Mississauga, golf and theatre outings, seminars and trade shows.

The organization says that, with an estimated 1 million women owning their own business in Canada,the time seems right for a publication aimed at them.

"There's few publications out there to support women in building and growing their businesses," observes Company of Women founder, Anne Day. "We're busy so we need snippets of information, not lengthy articles," she adds.

In addition to being a benefit of membership to the CofW members (basic membership in the organization is $195 a year, not including the costs of events) the magazine will be distributed through other women's business organizations in the Greater Toronto area, including the Canadian Association of Women Executives and Entrepreneurs and WINGS Canada. It will also be available on newsstands.
