About the Founder

Melissa Vinson, Founder of CBWN.

Hi, my name is Melissa Vinson and I am the President and Founder of the Christian Business Women’s Network. For decades I felt the Lord steering my heart, molding my experience, and drawing my mind to something bigger than me. The vision wasn’t clear, so like so many, I just kept on keeping on. Years of living life, surviving heartache, navigating the unsteady waters of church, and riding each wave of unexpected blessing led me to the Christian Business Women’s Network. In 2017, I surrendered to His call and watched as the pieces of my life’s experiences and passions fell into place to create the most beautiful patchwork of purpose. It is a joy to follow God’s direction into building a place for women of faith to meet, learn, support, and encourage one another. My prayer is that whoever you are and whatever industry, background, or faith story you have that you would find a place here with us. We would be honored to be the community you’re longing for, the network you can learn from, and most importantly - a support system we as women NEED.

You are welcome here, and I look so forward to meeting you.
