Three Washington County women recently established an informal network to benefit business women in the area.  Zena Corbin, Debbie Goulding and Paula Waller, recognizing the need for enhanced opportunities to share information, network and mentor young business women in the community, have formed the ‘Professional Women's Network’.

The all-volunteer group has little formal organizational structure and no attendance requirements, but offers opportunities for business woman in the area to come together to share resources and support services.
 
The first ‘Business After Hours’ gathering by the organization will be held Thursday, September 17 at Gloria's 1901 Café in Chipley, from 5 to 6PM.  The event will benefit the Washington County Pregnancy and Family Center in Chipley, and although Lydia Kneiss will speak briefly about services offered by the Center, the major focus of the session will be a ‘Meet and Greet’ among the area professional women. 

There is no charge for this event, but donations will be accepted on behalf of the Pregnancy and Family Center.  All professional women in the area are invited and encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity to meet other businesses and represent their occupation through this networking group.

For more information, please contact Paula Waller at 638-1336 or Zena Corbin at 638-1503.
