Inverness

Co-ordinator: Frances Powell   

The Inverness group meets on the first Wednesday of each month at Eden Court, between 12 and 2. 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.
