The Ideas Behind WCSWANS…

WCSWANS Mission Statement: To offer opportunities for women 21 years and older,
living in and around RI,  to have fun connecting and supporting one another in achieving
their individual goals.

WCSWANS Philosophy:
You can learn something from everyone you meet - in fact, sometimes the people
you least expect can offer you the greatest insights ...intentionally or unintentionally!
Helping others helps everyone all around...including the helper.  A lot of people think
of networking as “schmoozing” others to get what you want.  This is not what this
club is all about. Networking can be a great way to help others (while still helping
yourself) by sharing resources and ideas with one another. Helping others often
brings its own rewards.

Networking is About More Than Just Business...
While networking is often associated with business, the truth is networking is about more
than just business. In fact notice the word "business" is not in the definition....
Networking defined - “To interact or engage in informal communication with others for
mutual assistance or support.”
        (from http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/networking)

“NETPLAY”defined:
Although we “network”  (i.e. sharing such things as resources, ideas, skills and contacts
with others) all the time, some people often think of networking only in relationship to their
work or business in general. However, we also network when we tell a friend about a good
book, meet new friends through a current friend, hear about a great sale etc.  This type of
social networking I call “Netplay"
