Welcome to the CONNECTION STATION, the virtual community of Affiliated Women Intl(tm) (AWI)! Our vision is to "empower women worldwide". The mission is to enrich, encourage, & equip women in a manner that leads to empowerment. The STATION is where women from all over the globe connect, share stories, questions, concerns, triumphs, build significant friendships & achieve their passion, purpose & ultimate goals - together. We are a dynamic, growing Community and would love for you to join us!

AWI is both online here at the STATION and FACE 2 FACE! The AWI "ConnectWorking(tm)" format makes it easy & comfortable for women to build significant friendships with other women using a permission-based referral marketing approach. The best, warmest & most qualified referrals come from those who know, like & trust us! AWI "NEIGHBORHOOD NETWORKS" provide an environment for women to build mutually beneficial friendships based on honesty, integrity & trust. It's a unique approach! And women who seriously encounter, engage & embrace the model LOVE it.

Currently, AWI F2F NEIGHBORHOOD NETWORKS operate in INDIANAPOLIS, IN. & TULSA, OK. Soon, AWI will be in OKLAHOMA CITY, OK; AUSTIN & HOUSTON, TX; NEW YORK CITY & CHARLOTTE, NC.

Want to know more? Interested in having AWI in your community? Send us an email to linda@awomensplace.org or jana@affiliatedwomen.com. We'll be happy to share this exciting opportunity for women! Look forward to hearing from YOU soon!

Much love in your days. . . . Linda S. Fitzgerald, CEO-CVO

We continue to move forward with the 2010 Year of the Woman initiative. Only we've decided - why stop at just one year? After all, we've embarked upon a new decade. Might as well celebrate, recognize & honor women throughout the next 10 years! After all, we deserve every bit of it. As we move forward with confirming all the planning that is occurring right now, we'll update you on a regular basis! AND we'd love to have some of you volunteer for the NATIONAL STEERING COMMITTEE. Great opportunity for some major exposure in a very positive way!

ANNOUNCEMENT: The following AWI STATION MEMBERS are now members of the "2010-Decade of the Woman-2020" National Steering Committee: NINA SHARMA WEST - NYC; LOLLY DASKAL - NYC; MAUREEN MCCORMACK - NYC; DENISE COOPER - CHARLOTTE N.C.; SHERRY ROBERTS - OKLAHOMA CITY OK; KATINA KAISHER - COLUMBUS IN; AMY STARK, INDIANAPOLIS IN.

AWI has a "culture". Sara coined that word for us on Thursday & it is an absolute 'fit'. And our culture helps women move from the world of "traditional networking" to a world where women are women "beyond the business card"! Thanks to Sara for pointing this out to us!
