Thoughts from the Chair
July 8, 2010
Well, what another great meeting we had last night. Not only did we have 16 of our members attend, but another 4 new faces and very welcome they were too!
Kirsten talked us through the results of the work we did in the June meeting about developing the WiB brand. She spent a long time analysing our notes and produced a document that represents what we stand for, how we behave and what we offer. What struck me most was a recurring theme that so sums up the spirit our group – generosity. How many members, this year, have given so generously of their time, energy and commitment. They have not been paid, but have willingly made their contribution to help the group flourish and grow.
For me, that’s what sets this group apart from all other network groups. We really are a cohesive team, working in collaboration for a greater good – that of the Women in Business group. What’s more, it’s genuine. We love being part of this group and it shows in the increasing numbers month on month. I’m very proud to be part of such a supportive, generous team and I love the fact that we laugh our way through the meetings, whilst maintaining a business focus.
Quite simply, we rock!!
