Networks
Networks are vehicles of power for women, for all people. Often networks are a group of professionals who share resources, intellect and skills to achieve
certain results. Networks can be a connected group of people, of organizations, even countries. The results that come from networking are often far
broader and profound when a number of able minded people work on a project or issue together. Power is also afforded from the combined energies of all
concerned. Networking also helps neophyte workers or professionals become encultured into a job or cause through mentorship with a more experienced
peer. The following resources lead to effective networks in a number of different contexts - all relevant to women in some way. If you know of a network
