"When I began working in the Valley I didn't know a lot of people here, even though I'd lived here for years. I was working for a local newspaper and it was really important that I build relationships and understand the economic climate of the valley fast. I was having great difficulty with this until I joined WIB. I met so many wonderful ladies and was able to network so successfully that my business volume increased by over 100% in less than 3 months, just from the relationships I was able to develop through WIB! Now my circle of friends is much bigger and richer too. Membership in this organization has really made a positive impact on my whole life!"
Ann Landry "As a member of SVWIB, I feel supported in everything I do in our community - my job, my fun activities, my community service and my every day life. It’s like the Verizon advertisement – I feel I have “my people” with me at all times. It is an incredibly powerful feeling." Deborah E. Peterman & Associates, Inc. |
