Network Galway 2013

As President for 2013, I am delighted to welcome you to our Network Galway Website. I am honoured to be taking up the office for the coming year and it promises to be a busy and an exciting one.

Whether you are the owner of an established business, just starting out or working for an employer, Network Galway can help you develop your career and promote your business locally and nationally. As an organisation, we pride ourselves on offering a mixture of formal and informal networking events. These can range from formal business meetings covering topics of interest and relevance to today’s business women to fun events and networking in a more relaxed atmosphere . These events give you the opportunity to chat informally and strengthen your personal relationships with fellow members as well as gaining valuable business contacts. Our aim is to provide a platform for women who wish to develop their careers both professionally and personally.

 

Every year, the President nominates a charity. I have chosen as my charity JIGSAW Galway, an organisation which supports teenagers and young people at a difficult time in their lives. See www.jigsaw.ie/galway

Our Annual Network Galway ‘Women in Business Awards’ will be held on the 24th May this year. The Award categories are Employee, Self-Employed, New Business, President’s Award and Business Woman of the Year Award. The winners of the Employee Award, Self-Employed Award & New Business Award will proceed to the National Finals which will take place in Cork on 5th October 2013.

Members can continue to email networkgalway@gmail.com with news for inclusion in our weekly email, meet a member profile or quarterly newsletter.

 

You can also post your business news on our Facebook Page. Please remember to like and share this page. To be included in updates, contact Suzie Mahony, Committee Member.

Keep an eye on the website for upcoming events. You will also find the Photo Gallery which is updated regularly.

Should anyone have any suggestions or feedback, please do not hesitate to contact us. If you are not a member and would like to come along to a meeting or event, please contact myself or a Committee member and we will be delighted to welcome you along.

We meet on the first Wednesday of every month at 6.30pm, with an opportunity to network before our meetings commence at 7pm. Venues and guest speakers will be announced in our weekly emails.

I am thoroughly looking forward to my year as President and am looking forward to meeting you all during the year at our various meetings and events.

Yours sincerely

Ciara O'Callaghan
