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"
