Where Women in Southeastern Connecticut Grow & Make an Impact

This isn’t just networking—it’s connection

Whether you’re building a business, advancing your career, or simply looking for meaningful connections—our Network is where local women come together to support, collaborate, and grow.

Women attending a meeting in a conference room, seated around a wooden table, some with notebooks and cups, with a wall-mounted TV and artwork in the background.

Based in Southeastern Connecticut and serving Waterford, New London, Norwich, Mystic, Stonington, and surrounding communities, the Network builds a dynamic, diverse membership that fosters powerful, personal and professional relationships through member advancement and education. We bring together women in business and leadership at every stage of life to create genuine connections and opportunities via events, workshops, and peer support.

It’s not all business, though!

We believe that true connections grow from conversation, learning, laughter, and mutual encouragement. Join us for morning coffee, an evening networking event, or a luncheon to experience the Network and learn how you can get involved.

New here? Here’s how to get started.

Whether you come on your own or with a friend, you’ll be welcomed in. Non-members are welcome to attend two Luncheons prior to applying to join the network! We look forward to meeting you.
