11. Message from WiBNs Founder
Women tend to make business decisions based primarily on
the relationships they have built. Whether it's seeking
collaboration, learning something new, finding a mentor or
making a major purchase, we seek out someone we know or a
trusted referral.
Networking is the best way for prospective clients and referrals to
get a sense of who we are and what we can offer. Whether
you are an entrepreneur, sole proprietor, part of a larger
organization, work remotely from your home office, getting
Jeanne Porter ready to make a career change or launch a business,
networking will provide you with the connections, ideas, and
inspiration needed to move forward or to the next level.
Women in Business Networking is about YOU.
In serving you, I am grateful for this opportunity to apply my creative energy and natural
tendency to create meaningful connections for our members and guests. My intention with
Women in Business Networking is to provide a interactive venue where you leave each
event excited about an idea, connection or the next step you'll take. Leaving feeling good
about you and what you do in life.
I encourage you to share your interests with me so that the benefits and opportunities
provided through Women in Business Networking can flourish. I'm happy to be on this
journey with you and sharing our accomplishments and networking success with each
other!
