Greetings Fellow Networkers,

Does your list of 2012 goals include business development? I bet it does. Look no further than the Maine Women’s Network (MWN) for the best resources to help you achieve new heights in your business.

Here’s a sneak preview of my “bizdev” goals, which may resemble some items on your own list:

1. Write and launch an updated website and use social media more effectively;
2. Launch a webinar series (for MWN and Worden Associates, Inc.);
3. Revamp my direct marketing lists and toolkit.

And I know just where I’ll find the expertise I need to accomplish these tasks. Joining the MWN was one of the smartest business decisions I’ve made. MWN gives me all the right resources at my fingertips. I need only search the MWN database or attend a chapter meeting and I’ll have two to three great contacts to plum for the knowledge I seek. What’s on your list for 2012?

I’m sure you’ll find great resources when you attend any of the scheduled events we have throughout the state. Here’s a preview for January:

Midcoast – January 4 – Speaker: Mimi Bornstein with the Midcoast Community Chorus

Portland – January 10 – “How to Grow Your Business” with Wendy Rose and Gig Guyton of Women,
Work & Community, Gretchen Henn of The Women's Business Center of CEI, Nancy Strojny of SCORE,
and Sandra Stone of Angel Investors of Maine

Androscoggin – January 11 – Speaker: Valarie Coolong of KeyBank

Happy New Year from all of us at Maine Women's Network!
