April 2018 Newsletter + Track Meetings
Our Amazing Spring Gathering!
Not only did we have a great turnout for our Spring Gathering, we have added 12 NEW members since then!! Our format this time made a real difference.
First, we asked Toni Portmann (see her speaking above) to talk for a few minutes about what helps women be successful in the workplace. From there we created a mock Track meeting, expecting a small group to participate. Instead, all the women gathered around the smaller group chimed in and shared their thoughts. It was truly a warm, encouraging and inspiring experience.
The whole room was fully engaged in the conversation. And we had a genuine breakthrough moment when one woman completely grasped a new way to talk about her business. She was so blown away by the experience, she joined that night!
Here’s what one new attendee wrote to us to share:
I was referred to a Great Girls Network event by a good friend of mine. I decided to check it out for the networking opportunities. Upon arriving, I could tell right away that this was different than any other networking event I had attended. The room was comprised of a variety of women of different ages, races, and professions. Everyone was extremely friendly and welcoming, something I especially appreciated since I had come to the event on my own. I was ultimately drawn to become an official member when I saw it was an organization that really emphasized creating meaningful relationships. In today’s busy and competitive landscape, it is very refreshing to be part of a community of women that motivates, encourages, and uplifts one another.
Afterward, Allison Geller joined that night!!!

Track Meetings
To register for a Track meeting, log onto our website as a Member.
To take advantage of these amazing Track meetings, you must join GGN! Each one is an event or happening in itself. Some members come frequently, some come only once in a while. Whenever you attend one, you will find out things you didn’t know, connect with women who will challenge and inspire you, and you will leave with some new perspectives.
Growth Track
▪ April 11, 2018
▪ 6:30pm – 8:30pm
▪ One of the things that stops us from growing is comparing ourselves to others and thinking we come up short! We all grow at different speeds and in different ways. This group helps you come to grips with your own process, think through your choices, and make clear decisions. And it is fun at the same time! Join us!
Transitions Track
▪ April 18, 2018
▪ 6:30pm – 8:30pm
▪ We all know change is inevitable so why do we fight it? Why do we fear it? Why not just go with it? This group helps you think through your perceived obstacles and get moving forward. And you have the support and encouragement of other women in the process! How cool is that?!
Be Well Track
▪ April 25, 2018
▪ 6:30pm – 8:30pm
▪ Wellness is a broad topic…and we cover a wide array of topics that members want to discuss. At our last meeting, we discussed ways of handling a difficult family situation. At other meetings we have run the gamut from diet and exercise to meditation. This Track is really anything you want it to be. So be vulnerable, share your struggles and outlook, and see what feels right for you!
Member News
Our wonderful Member News is that we have added 12 more members since our Spring Gathering! It is so inspiring to me that you are telling your friends and spreading the word. This group is unique–and can’t be compared to any form of “networking” you have ever experienced.
Thank you for keeping up the momentum and energy. Women are the difference makers!
Become a Member!
Great Girls Network is our way of being the opposite of the Good Ol’ Boys Network (which is still very much alive and well!). Even if you don’t participate in Track meetings, your membership gives you a way to support our existence and be a part of a growing group of women who really appreciate each other. And the Trii-Annual Gatherings are unlike any other “networking” event! We know women don’t network like men. We want to build relationships, we want deeper, more meaningful connections. That is exactly what GGN provides.
Our membership fee of $50 per year gives you access to our Track Meetings and also contributions to our Newsletter. The fee helps sustain our website, but it also ensures that when you participate in a Track meeting, you will honor the sacredness of the conversations because you are a member.
We created a digital card that helps people understand what they can get from joining GGN so click here to see the card.
Your membership helps give us that foundation, the strength to grow and have an impact on the lives of so many more women.
Great Girls Are Amazing Women!!! Thank You!!!
