We deliver programs that contribute to the personal and professional development of our members, meeting their needs at the right time in the right way..

The Benefits
Professional women who live and work in Dundee and Angus, who own their business or affiliates, or women pursuing a career in commerce, industry, academia, law, accountancy or insurance professions are welcome to apply for membership.
Make New Contacts
Networking is about sharing and forming trust while helping one another toward goals. Regularly engaging with your contacts and finding opportunities to assist them helps to strengthen the relationship. By doing this, you sow the seeds for reciprocal assistance when you need help to achieve your goals.
Skills & experience
Gaining the advice of experienced peers is an important benefit of networking. Discussing common challenges and opportunities opens the door to valuable suggestions and guidance. Offering genuine assistance to your contacts also sets a strong foundation for receiving support in return when you need it.
Group of talented women
Networking is a great opportunity to exchange best practice knowledge, learn about the business techniques of your peers and stay abreast of the latest industry developments. A wide network of informed, interconnected contacts means broader access to new and valuable information.
Learn, improve or develop
Your network can be an excellent source of new perspectives and ideas to help you in your role. Exchanging information on challenges, experiences and goals is a key benefit of networking. Similarly, offering helpful ideas to a contact is an excellent way to build your reputation as an innovative thinker.
Invest in your career
Being visible and getting noticed is a benefit of networking that is essential in career building. Regularly attending professional and social events will help to get your face known. You can then help to build your reputation as being knowledgeable, reliable and supportive by offering useful information or tips to people who need it.
