2026 SWAG REBRAND
A space created exclusively for women!
To eliminate confusion between SBA Women in Business (WIB) events and the SBA Women’s Alliance Group, we are bringing all women-focused programming under one unified brand: SWAG – SBA Women’s Advocacy & Gratitude initiative. Moving forward, the Alliance Group name will be retired, and all activities will be organized under the SWAG umbrella.
MISSION:
SWAG unites, empowers, and elevates women in the Schaumburg Business Association through connection, professional development, gratitude, and community engagement.
WHO WE ARE:
SBA Women’s Advocacy & Gratitude (SWAG) is the unified home for all SBA women-focused events. Our goal is to create an inclusive environment where women professionals and allies can thrive through learning, networking, and shared experiences.
WHAT:
SWAG events will consist of monthly lunches, after-work socials, volunteer opportunities, and more.
2026 LUNCH DETAILS:
Dates: 2nd Thursday of every month, 11:30 am – 1:30 pm
Sponsorships: Table Sponsors at $275 per event
For sponsorships, contact Kayleigh Endicott at KBurnitz@SchaumburgBusiness.com
