The Lowdown
The Monaghan Women in Business Network is a Local Enterprise Office initiative and Local Enterprise Office Monaghan supports and highly subsidises all Monaghan Women in Business activities.
The Network Relaunch
The Network has received a fresh new brand to be representative of the strong, vibrant women in business. It gives a contemporary look and feel to the Monaghan Women in Business Network.
In preparation for the relaunch, a new brand was developed, the website was revamped and a host of new member benefits were added to maximise the member’s opportunities for connection, learning and growth.
The Coordinators
Dawn Leane and Jean Evans recently took over the running of the Monaghan Women in Business Network, alongside Pamela Kerr and Caroline Hunt from the Local Enterprise Office in Monaghan.
The Importance of Monaghan Women in Business Network
Networking is about building community, building business, building contacts.
But first and foremost it’s about building confidence.
Without personal development and growth in skills, such as communication, speaking and connecting, business owners cannot network effectively.
Dawn and Jean are committed to creating the appropriate opportunities for members to share knowledge, build relationships and promote their businesses.
