NEK Women Lead Network, 2020 - 2021
NEK Women Lead is a networking group for community-engaged women in the Northeast Kingdom. It is a unique and informal experience designed to facilitate women forming connections and mutually supporting each other.
This circle is a space for rich, honest dialogue between women leaders who want to help each other thrive and drive change. Empowerment, authenticity, and vulnerability are key.
At the first gathering, we’ll take time to get to know each other through facilitated activities and group orientation. Subsequent gatherings will be unstructured networking through dinner and casual conversation.
COVID-19 Update: Ideally, the group will meet quarterly at a variety of NEK locations for food & fun. If we cannot do so safely, we will organize virtual gatherings.
Cost: FREE
What will you walk away with?
An amazing network of women working to make a positive impact in their communities.
A toolbox of leadership & policy engagement strategies
An opportunity to explore cross-sector partnerships in innovative ways to create change in the NEK and beyond
Access to the entire alumni network via the directory and listserv, plus invites to future network gatherings
This is not a training program, this is networking.
This network’s express purpose is to help leading women connect with other women on an interpersonal level. There’s no pressure to be productive or build skills. The goals for the network are:
Build relationships
Offer and receive support
Float ideas & get feedback
Enjoy time with other women in leadership
