National Women’s Network - Background
NETWORK was started in 1981 by a small group of senior women working in London. They wanted to find a way in which women at their level, often lacking peers in their own companies, could share interests and discuss mutual problems. They felt they needed both a formal organisation as well as the informality that such an organisation would create, allowing them to build up contacts with women from across the whole work spectrum. Since its inception, NETWORK has built up a thriving national membership with branches throughout the UK.
National Women’s Network – Representation, Encouragement & Support
Among the mutual aims binding members together is the encouragement of women to seek senior professional and managerial positions, encouragement to exchange ideas on all aspects of working life, liaison with other organisations on matters of mutual interest and the encouragement that members give to each other.
NETWORK represents the views of members to the professions and the media and seeks to create a climate where opinion of NETWORK members is sought on matters in which NETWORK, and working women generally, have an interest.
Apart from the monthly meetings, NETWORK organises workshops, discussion groups and seminars. There are also annual events, held in prestigious venues, with distinguished guest speakers attending alongside NETWORK members and their guests.
NETWORK members receive the National e-newsletter, the NETWORK Directory and invitations to meetings, all covered by the annual subscription and joining fee. NETWORK also organises conferences, seminars and workshops at favourable rates to members.
