The National Business Women Enterprise Network
In 2005, my girlfriend and I began the Women Executives Network (W.E. Network) to support women in business personally, professionally, and spiritually. Our motto "Building Relationships... Supporting Our Dreams". We collaborated with another organization and hosted one pretty successful event in October of that year and even had a story written about us in Today's Newspaper. All looked promising as we dreamt of building the organization as well as our own businesses.
However, due to our hectic schedules and busy lives, for a few years, W.E. Network was placed on hold. Then in late 2007, we attempted to rev it up again but still having full lives, our schedules wouldn't mesh enough to take the organization in the direction it needed to go. So we decided to dissolve the organization and concentrate on our respective businesses.
Still believing that God wanted this organization to thrive, but with a slightly different and concentrated focus, I decided to get together a group of like-minded and ambitious women to establish the National Business Women Enterprise Network and form our Board of Directors. Everything just kind of took off from there!!
We were able to hold our monthly networking luncheons and the business became virtual by creating social networking sites on Myspace and Ning.
If you have the opportunity, please visit both sites and sign up!! At this time, we have over 3400 friends on Myspace and over 500 on Ning and we're excited about what else is in store. We're working on a magazine and radio talk show.
Our Ning site is your site so use it to build relationships, grow your business, express your thoughts, share your resources, market your events, etc., etc!!
There's lots to do so we hope you will take time to visit often, enjoy your stay and give as well as receive from us.
Blessings and Happy Networking!
