Women Entrepreneurs Sharing and Networking

We don't have to wait until we are famous women entrepreneurs before we could share business and success tips to help one another, right? One simple tip, when applied, could a make a big difference in our business. Sometimes we already know what to do but to act on what we know often times take a push from another who'd done it and succeeded.

I like what I read recently in a book on network marketing:
“Everyone has a dream; it often needs to be coaxed and nurtured. If people are willing to put themselves in an environment of dreamers and winners, and feed their minds with positive possibilities, they would discover their dreams.”

Let us turn PAN into that tool to put positive possibilities into the minds of women business owners. Join, contribute and benefit from our twice monthly networking and social sessions to start in June 2010.

Vice-chairman Jacqueline Goh is in-charge of the sessions, assisted by several others, for now. Come forward with your ideas so we can continue making the session better. We started it as PAN committee felt its monthly meeting, followed by social hour, offers limited scope for members to interact, bond and benefit from one another.

Networking agenda
For the session, the agenda is to start with greetings from PAN committee, followed by 15 to 20-minute expert sharing. The invited expert can be from outside or PAN members. After that, is time for one member to share her business, products or services over 10 minutes. We would schedule it so that over time all members could have her turn to share. Then it is free period for attendees to socialize, do business matching and the likes – Jacqueline shall device a method to somewhat structure this part, too. And finally, any announcement and closing remarks to end the meeting.

When?
Second Thursday and last Saturday of the month have been scheduled for the networking & social sessions. The Thursday meeting is from 2.00 – 3.30pm. The Saturday meet shall be preceded by PAN committee meeting at 11am. Then, other members can join in for lunch and continue with the networking & social session.

Venue
The most convenient place we have now is at Hotel 1926 in Georgetown. Ample parking, WiFi, comfortable seating, air-conditioning and reasonably priced food. Members can also offer their own premise as alternative.

Here's to becoming successful women entrepreneurs!
