Inverness

Co-ordinator: Frances Powell   

The Inverness group meets on the first Wednesday of each month at the Beaufort Hotel, between 12 and 2. We have 520 women on the Inverness list. Participants in Inverness come from a range of occupations and types or organisations, from individual business women to public sector bodies. W@W meetings give everyone attending the opportunity to share similarities and differences from their workplaces, and their home and community activities and to learn together in a supportive and fun way. In addition to the invaluable networking opportunity – meeting new people and enhancing links with others.
