OUR MISSION
The Women's Networking Collective was founded to empower women to connect and build authentic relationships; to grow in body, spirit and business.
We are a group of action oriented women, who crave authentic connection, and relationship building. We are here to up level our own businesses while learning from others and sharing experiences.
We do this in multiple formats. First, our monthly networking luncheons give members a chance to connect in person. Each month, members and guests have the opportunity to introduce their business, discuss recent member collaborations, announce any events their business may be hosting, and request help or service needs, if applicable. In addition, there is a featured speaker and plenty of time for mixing and mingling.
We also encourage "coffee connections" between members outside of the monthly luncheon. We believe true relationship building needs more than a monthly lunch; we not only encourage these coffees but provide gift cards to 2 lucky members each month as a fun bonus.
Finally, we host "pop up" type events and are planning on a member's Holiday party, Women's Day of Connection and much more!
At Women's Networking Collective, we are smart, savvy action takers who are ready to level up.
Comfortable in our skin, or learning to be. At many different points in our careers. Ready to connect, learn, grow, share and support one another. We know women need a tribe to thrive, and thrive we will!
