Women's Networks - Coming Together

Here's a wish of mine... that the many and varied women's business networks around in Nottinghamshire would connect up a bit more often.

It must be getting on for two years ago that I was invited to a meeting co-ordinated by Business Link Nottinghamshire (as was then) with the aim of doing just that. But nothing seemed to come of it in the longer term. I've been meeting with one of the other women at that meeting since to talk over how we can make it happen.

That issue is just one of the things that fed into the development of the Smart Women web site. I'd really like to see it become a hub for all these various groups that seem to be popping up all the time. Where they can cross-fertilise ideas and events - or, at the very least, check on our women's events calendar to make sure they don't clash. Some groups are already seeing the value in this and I do hope more will join in soon.
