 Women in Consulting (WIC) is filled with amazing talent who are top in their fields. Many also give generously of their time to various organizations (thankfully so, as WIC wouldn’t be the same without them!). This summer, one of WIC’s long-time members – Sue Connelly – was honored for her contributions, receiving the Jefferson Award for her countless hours helping people find jobs through the KITlist.

Why do people volunteer? Simply because they love the work, and are passionate about an organization. People volunteer because they want to make a difference in their community, their world, and they want to help others succeed. Volunteering makes people feel good, it balances their work and personal life, and feeds that creative part of the soul.

 For those of you who aren’t familiar with Women in Consulting’s (WIC) organizational structure, WIC is an all-volunteer organization, except for the person who manages our administrative office. And the programs this amazing team collectively puts together are, well, amazing. Two shining examples of this are the Welcome to WIC (W2W) and member orientation programs developed by the membership and pro bono teams. Read the rest of this entry »

Want to expand your networking opportunities within WIC? Learn new marketable skills? Become a driver within the consultant community? Be able to leap tall buildings in a single bound? Become a WIC pro bono team member! (Okay, I lied about the leaping abilities, but it’s amazing how high you can reach once you are a WIC pro bono member!)
We have many interesting opportunities available. Let me tell you about a few:
- Three co-chair positions for marketing, monthly meetings, and web content. For the marketing and web content co-chairs, you’ll be instrumental in communicating about the great WIC events to the greater WIC community. The monthly meetings co-chair will enable you to develop strong relationships with key business minds in our industry.
- Two one-time gigs as ambassadors or monthly meeting speaker coordinators. Both of these will enable you to make a big contribution to WIC without the big commitment. Ambassadors make our new members and meeting attendees feel welcome and the speaker coordinators guide one speaker through the process of presenting to WIC.
- One new addition: analytics coordinator. In this role, you will help WIC measure the impact of our online presence — and help us to improve our efforts.
Want to learn more? Just contact me at dhoard@get-net-results.com and I’ll introduce you to the correct Board member for the inside scoop.

…thanks to the efforts of everyone who attended and those who helped organize the meeting.
WOW! That was my opening statement at the 2010 midyear offsite of WIC’s pro bono team. It’s what I think whenever I think of the expertise and experience that comprises our team. It’s what I think whenever I see what that collective brain power can accomplish.
The number of programs put into place and projects completed during the first half of 2010 is staggering — especially when you consider that every one one of these women has a day job and is doing this in her “spare” time.

(Part One of a two-part series focused on Long Term Disability Insurance for Consultants)
 Reviewing her options
By Sherry Prescott-Willis and Leslie Smith
If you’re like most consultants, you’re juggling clients, meetings, budgets and maybe even a family. We know that you’re busy! If you’ve got a mortgage, you pay it monthly, you have property taxes and you may be covered on a spouse’s health coverage, or you may have your own health coverage program. Yet, think a minute about what would happen if you became ill or injured and could not work at your occupation as a consultant for some reason. What would you and your family live on? Would your rent, mortgage or expenses for your family be covered?
