Welcome to the new Women in Consulting (WIC) blog. As president of WIC, I’m excited about this new resource and hope you will be, too.
We at WIC are dedicated to providing a place to connect and share with other like-minded professionals who are interested in building strong businesses.
WIC was founded 10 years ago by a handful of women meeting in the back of a coffee shop in San Carlos, CA. Today, we’re over 400 members strong. Not only do we provide ongoing in-person programs for members, affiliates, and the community in general, but we also have a well-regarded extremely valuable email community that shares job leads, best practices, technical advice, and more.
This year we’re expanding our online presence in many ways.
- We’ve just released our newly redesigned, expanded website, with more resources in a much easier-to-use format.
- We’ve created WIC groups on LinkedIn and Facebook for our members.
- We’re introducing this blog as a resource for the WIC community and consultants in general.
We continue to look for ways to serve the vibrant, diverse, and collaborative community that is Women in Consulting. We’re focused on supporting women in all stages of the consulting lifecycle: from getting started to developing a core practice, refining the business, and then managing mature consulting practices.
As importantly, we exist for and because of our members. We’re a volunteer-based organization. Our volunteers tell us that working with WIC is doubly satisfying because not only do they have the opportunity to give back to the community, but it directly helps them grow their businesses. Please consider joining the ranks of successful women who’ve added WIC to their list of pro-bono consulting assignments.
I look forward to seeing all of you at our upcoming events or here online. And all of us here at WIC look forward to your input, thoughts, and comments on all of these initiatives and more.
Regards,
Linda
