LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT
WHY I JOINED WOMEN TO WOMEN NETWORK
Women to Women Network was “love at first sight” for me. I was greeted warmly and made to feel truly welcomed as soon as I walked in the door of my very first event. I had meaningful conversations with many different women that went beyond simply “what do you do?”
I appreciated the relaxed beginning with space to arrive, get my bearings, and settle in. Having structured introductions in the middle meant I got to efficiently learn names and businesses for everyone there. Wrapping up the evening with intentional, scheduled time to connect again was genius - it made networking so much easier to do once I knew which women I wanted to connect with so I could build relationships.
Relationships of every level are the value I gain from WtoWN. I joined for business connections and learning, which I fully embrace and share, and it has also been a source for building amazing new friendships. The events ‘fill my cup’ and often leave me in a better place than I started.
Joining the leadership team has felt like a natural progression for me. I love connecting with women and learning about who they are as individuals and businesswomen, what they are passionate about, and how I can support them. As co-chapter director of PDX Metro SE I get to ensure my chapter is as warm and inviting as my first experience with WtoWN. As Regional Membership Director, I can take the spirit of Connect, Collaborate, and Grow to new levels of support as our region grows.
