flourishes around the globe.” Members of IAW will now have access
to:
- Local-chapter, regional, national and international
events.
- Online networking and support through our website, monthly
eChapter meetings and bi-monthly eCoaching platforms, connecting
members with one another and professional career and life coaches
from within the IAW membership.
- Exclusive jobs boards and resources to identify new
opportunities, grow in their current roles and identify talent.
- Professional development, including in-person seminars and
unlimited access to more than 1,000 on-demand webinars facilitated
by our partners.
- Business and personal services, providing member-only
discounts.
IAW Eastern Regional Manager and Atlanta Chapter President
Natalie Fikes added, “Attaining a global network will not only
prove the power of technology, it will position IAW members to
diversify their thinking and connect with the commonalities we as
women share.”
In addition to expanding women’s networking, IAW will tackle
important work-life integration issues. IAW Western Regional
Manager and L.A. Chapter President Ruth Garcia-Corrales stated, “A
global expansion provides us unlimited opportunities for business
and social networking, along with the opportunity to benefit from
the experiences of women from all over the world.”
Excited about the future, Ms. Jones concluded, “With women
occupying more and more leadership roles in business, government
and society, it is true that women are ‘holding up half the sky.’
We look forward to evolving and holding the sky together, allowing
us all to dream, rise and lead.”
