Women’s Enrichment Network
Mission: The Women’s Enrichment Network connects, empowers and inspires female leaders to serve one another and our community by providing personal and professional growth resources.
Meetings are always the second Wednesday of the month from 12-1 pm, locations vary but typically we meet at the Freeport Public Library public meeting rooms and via Zoom. Meeting formats will vary month-to-month based on topic and availability of a speaker. Every meeting will have a short time for informal networking. Lunch is brown bag. Membership is $25/year. Women are welcome to attend their first meeting for free with a commitment to join.
