Lani Basa is the Owner of The Business Women’s Circle (The BWC), an organization that connects, builds communities, and creates experiences for women to grow. Celebrating 10 years, The BWC continues to focus on supporting women in business through peer Circles, workshops, and their Annual Forum.  Previously, Lani spent 22 years at the Target Corporation as an “intrapreneur.” Her tenure includes time on the Marshall Field’s Stores Leadership Team, Director of Organizational Effectiveness, and her last position—creating the HR Operations Division at Target. In all roles, she has always focused on strategic development, leadership coaching, and professional development.  The loves of Lani’s life are her people (family, ohana family, friends, pets...), learning (almost anything), the Pacific Northwest, food, books, and co-working spaces. Lani eventually plans to do more traveling, after having lived a nomadic life having lived in 9 states and 6 countries – all by the time she graduated from college – she knows the wanderlust will hit again.
