Applicants:
Thank you for your interest in Women's NETWORK.
The NETWORK is an active group of
nearly 170 business and professional women and men who work and/or
reside in Southeastern Connecticut.
Membership in the NETWORK is open to
women and men who are currently employed or have a significant history
of employment in the business and/or professional world. The purpose of
the NETWORK, as stated in our
bylaws, is:
"to provide its members with
the opportunity to meet other business
and professional women in our community, to communicate and
exchange general and career information, to promote personal visibility,
and to develop a constituency for the purpose of examining and
speaking out on issues of concern to the membership."
The NETWORK is a member of the
Mystic Chamber of Commerce and the
Chamber of Commerce of Eastern CT.
Therefore, members may attend Chamber events at Chamber member prices.
The NETWORK is involved in many
activities including endowment of scholarships at area colleges;
donations of various items to the
Women's Center of Southeastern
Connecticut; sponsorship of conferences and seminars; and the
publication of a monthly newsletter, an annual membership directory, its
own web site (you're on it now) and an
on-line version of its membership directory with email and web-site
links of NETWORK members.
Applicants normally attend a networking monthly
luncheon as guests, before applying, to
experience NETWORK. The luncheon is held the third Wednesday of every month from
11:30 am to 1:30 pm at the Groton Inn & Suites in Groton. Effective
July 1, 2006, the price increased to $18
with advance reservations or $20 without. There is a social networking time before
lunch is served at noon, and time is allocated at each meeting for
introducing guests and making brief announcements. Generally, there is a
speaker or program on a topic relevant to the membership. To make a
reservation, call 437-7448 by 10 am Monday preceding the luncheon.
If you wish to join, fill/print out a NETWORK
application, attach a current resume or
biographical sketch, and enclose a check for $75 payable to
SE CT Women's Network. Return to the address below.
Eligible applicants will be presented to the Board of Directors for a
vote at their monthly meeting. That meeting is always the Friday before
the scheduled luncheon date. When they are accepted, applicants will be
notified by telephone or email. The individual will then be inducted
into the organization at the next luncheon. She or he will be placed on
the mailing list and will receive the monthly newsletter, directory,
nametag, bylaws, and other membership information.
If you wish to apply and have already attended a luncheon, please
(1) fill/print out the on-line application,
(2) attach your resume or biographical sketch,
and
(3) enclose a check.
