The support you need to build
a career you love.
Dear Networkers
All good things must come to an end and it is with some sadness that I am announcing that the Zoom on November 24 will be the last event for this Network.
When I started the Lady Val Network more than 14 years ago, there were only a few networks for women, now there are dozens. I feel I can make more of a difference in the prison reform sector where not as many are doing the same kind of networking as happens through The Corbett Network for Prisoner Reintegration and the Robin Corbett Award for Prisoner Reintegration. (www.thecorbettnetwork.com; www.robincorbettaward.co.uk)
I created this Network to offer a valuable forum for professional women to be inspired, to create meaningful connections and to further careers by focusing on key areas of personal development. I am proud we connected hundreds of senior execs through our buzzy lunches and Zooms and am happy that many friendships have begun in Brown’s beautiful Judges Chamber.
Now some thanks…
.. to our inspirational speakers over the years, from leading CEO’s, to game-changing leaders, to engaging high profile professionals, each with an exceptional story to deliver to our Network.
… to my small team of volunteers who ensures a warm welcome to those attending lunches. I remember going alone to functions and feeling nervous. So my team met networkers at the top of the stairs,brought them to me and I then took them to a group to begin the icebreaker – how can I help you and how can you help me? I will miss the pre-lunch coffee and catch-ups.
… to all of you for helping to make the Network a success. Together many fabulous business women used our Icebreaker to connect, support and improve their business and make friends. After every event I was congratulated on the calibre of networkers and how amazing they were. Please take a bow! According to our motto, none of you are going to end up in hell!
.
Of course I will miss you all and thank you for laughing at my jokes especially the parrot ones. I wish all of you prosperity in all you do, good health and happiness with family, friends and within your community.
Our special Network toast will happen for the last time at the November 24 Zoom from 11-12.30. Booking link: https://lnkd.in/e9tbT55J
