Do We Need a Good Old Girls Network?

By: Caroline Wilbert (View Profile)

As I got up to the leave the table, the owner of the executive search firm said, “Come see us.”

“I will,” I told her.

What do you think? Do women owe it to each other to play as a team, and exactly what does that mean in practical terms?

I agree that there is definitely a need for women to network. Often times we are bogged down with family life, work, ministry and the list goes on....and on.. We need to come together to share our successes and failures. Speaking of Networking opportunities...just this past year in February I established a women's network in Hammond, Louisiana called the W.O.W.W. (Women of Wisdom and Wealth) Network of professional women. We adopted a high school in Hammond where we went to the school every Friday and spoke to students (young men and women)in a Home Economics class on several life issues, finances, and career choices, etc. It was a tremendous success and worth the investment. Mentoring our young girls is extremely important. They need to see successful well balanced women. I'm hoping in the future that the business conference you speak so highly of would come to Lousiana I would love to be a coordinator on such a positive movement among women. Keep walking in purpose!
