This summer a dedicated group of women braved the intense 6-week curriculum of WEV’s Business Plan Intensive (BPI) course. We’ll applaud their achievements at an intimate graduation celebration tonight in Ventura. The Fall season of BPI begins in September.

There are three WEV events coming up in beautiful Santa Paula for you to choose from:

Orientation
Fillmore! Piru! Santa Paula! East Ventura - WEV has come to you! There’s no better way to learn about our programs than by attending a free orientation. Forward this to a friend who lives in the area, and watch the economic growth spread through our county. Click here to sign up for the orientation in Santa Paula on August 23rd, 6-7pm.

Bocce Ball Festival - Limoneira
