Communications Pro Blog

Some of the original members

That is the informal name of a group of women meeting up once a month at one Goddess’ home to network, nosh, and enjoy some good wine.

I take partial credit for the first gathering.  A client, Maria Hasenecz, President of Livable Landscapes, was looking for ways to grow her business.  I suggested she show off her lovely garden and invite women in home-related industries.  So we invited an arborist, an interior designer, an architect, a home remodeler, a photographer…and me – a communications consultant. The garden party was a huge success and the gatherings have continued and scope of the group has expanded.

We have branched out to include a realtor or two, a wine importer, a financial advisor, a sculptor, a tile maker, a storyteller and a florist.

The idea of women getting together to bond, discuss common small business issues, and just relax and learn a bit about each other is not a new one.  But in these times of social networking and connecting to others via LinkedIn, Facebook and My Space, the ability to connect in person is most refreshing.

I am interested in hearing how you meet up in person to network and bond with others.  Please send me a comment for posting.
