“Whether hanging out and hula hooping at the WXW Summerfest event, participating in a heated, helpful discussion at a breakout session during the WXW Forum, or leading a seminar for WXW attendees, I have been able to catalyze, nurture and develop countless valuable relationships through my involvement with this dynamic organization . Many of these relationships have blossomed into actual, paying business—icing on the cake of the friendships and associations I treasure.”

“WXW is an amazing connector of dots for me, and for my business. I’ve met amazing women who inspire me and who push me to new and greater things. I’ve connected up with businesses that have helped my business grow, and I’ve found just the right people to refer others when I need to. The range of topics covered in the events – oh, and the annual Forum conference! – addresses the full spectrum of business issues I face: goals, growth, people, finance, public policy, sales, public relations, team-building, work-life balance…. and too many others to count! The women of WXW have been there when I need them, in the ups, downs, and all-arounds of founding and growing my business.”

“When I first got involved with WXW, networking was really a chore for me. I just never felt very proficient at it. But through WXW, I both learned some skills to keep in my pocket for networking events, and I’ve just met tons of great, fun, engaging women so that when I go to events at WXW, or anywhere else in our community, I usually see familiar faces.
Being a solo practitioner can also be a little bit of a lonely business lifestyle. But through WXW, I’ve met a lot of others in my same shoes, and the events cover such a broad variety of topics that I feel like I’m always adding something new to my problem solving toolkit, for both myself and my clients.”

“I LOVE to refer women to the WXW because of their deep understanding of how to make it work for women in this county and this state. The energy of WXW is strongly positive! No memberships are required, just your heart that’s open to meeting & helping others as well as yourself. They understand it is about US truly connecting, not selling, helping each other as friends not just contacts, and referring each other, not just being social. Indeed, my first foray to WXW felt like a breakthrough professional debutante party. Whether you’re in a suit or funky heels with bling, it’s a group of women who will accept & support you for who you are now and for what you are becoming.”
