724.0. "DEC Networking among Women" by PBA::ERSKINE () Mon Feb 15 1988 09:02

    
    I am new to this notes file and after doing a search found only
    one note on "networking".  I am aware of women networking groups
    in DEC for managers, but have not found a group for non-managers.
    I am an ambitious woman who seeks career advancement and development
    and would like to get together with other women with the same goals.
    Is anyone aware of a group within DEC ?  From the responses to note
    6, the definitions would include mentoring, support, exchange on
    information regarding classes, courses, help with negotiating skills,
    dealing with various "managerial styles" etc.
    
    Any ideas....

    Rita, you might try DEC_SECRETARY and CAREERS notesfiles for more

    Rita,
    
    Welcome to the file. Unfortunately, I haven't heard of a "woman's
    support group" at DEC. We, the =womannotes= moderators hope that you
    feel free to use this forum to discuss the topics you've mentioned. In
    fact, I suspect that some of them have already been discussed, so you
    can add on to older topics or startup new ones.

724.3Could we all start here?VIKING::TARBETClorty Auld BesomMon Feb 15 1988 17:368
    Indeed welcome, Rita!
    
    Apropos your question and Liz's suggestion:  could we --the women of
    this community-- create such a group, do you think?  If we were to try,
    how should we organise it and what should we expect of it?  Speaking
    for myself, I'd be very in favor of having a go at it.

724.4a good place to start!PARITY::TILLSONSugar MagnoliaMon Feb 15 1988 18:0017
    Maggie, you beat me to the puch!  I was just about to ask if it
    were possible to create such a group!
    
    One approach would be to look at what other companies have done
    in this are.  Does anyone know of other companies who have put 
    together a women's support network that would could use as a model?
    
    Someone mentioned that we have a network for women in management
    at DEC.  Is there someone here who is a member of that network who
    could fill us in?  Could we build on what is already in place; ie;
    form a sister organization to the one that already exists?
    
    I'm in favour of looking into this, Rita, we share a name *and* an
    interest.
