Redefining Ladies Who Lunch
There are dozens of networking groups out there, and in honor of National Women’s History Month this month, Loudoun Business wanted to provide businesswomen with a listing of several groups dedicated to their interests. Some are well-established, while others are just getting off the ground. From formal countywide organizations affiliated with the local chamber of commerce to casual neighborhood get-togethers.
Last fall a group of work-at-home moms began meeting for monthly networking sessions, usually during lunchtime. The Ashburn women had discovered when they dropped off their children at the school bus stop that a number of them were working from home and were having similar experiences. The unnamed group has no formal structure or set meeting date, but roughly 15 women gather to act as sounding boards and offer each other support.
“It’s pretty laid back,” said Molly Steele of Steele Photography. “When you do work from home and you’re not around other people, it’s nice to have adult conversation. It’s nice to get out of the house and socialize when you do work from home.”
