Citizens Womens Connection was set up by Melissa Volz-Smith to help others - especially women - establish the connections and networks that are often key to business success. This is part of the Citizens State Bank Mission to help our clients, co-workers, and communities succeed.
Meetings are tentatively scheduled for the first and third Wednesdays of each month and will be held at the Citizens State Bank location for each city specifically. If you have questions about the group or upcoming events, please contact Melissa for details. You can also request to join the CWC LinkedIn Group.
