Women
Entrepreneur’s Network (WEN)
Whether
your business is a side hobby, just in the beginning stages, or growing
fast, our group is a great chance to meet other women,
network and share ideas in a fun and informal setting.
Women Entrepreneur’s Network was co-founded by Samantha Greenfield
and Jennifer Buckley in 2003. The group initially started out with
a few women meeting over wine to chat about our businesses, but over
the last several years it has blossomed into a much bigger group and
includes a wonderful mix of women with all types of businesses.
There is no fee for joining W.E.N. and no formal membership. You just
attend the meetings when you can. We do charge a small fee of $15 for
each meeting, to cover rental and food costs. Each meeting is structured
to include a “meet and greet/business card swap” welcome,
1-minute introductions of yourself and your business, and then a formal
agenda that includes a few business challenges to be discussed, or
a formal speaker. We meet quarterly at Figs in Wellesley Center on
a week night – with plans to possibly increase meetings to every
other month later this year.
If
you’d like to be added to our email list, just let us know
and we’d be happy to send you an invite to our next meeting. We
hope you can join us!
Here is a list of active WEN members and their websites.
