One way to help people to succeed is through the development of networks. We felt it would be a good idea to develop a network aimed at inspiring women at Aston. The network is open to anyone who is able to help women develop and achieve.
Who are we?
At the moment we are a relatively small group of motivated individuals who meet regularly to support one another and the development of a network.
What do we do?
- Provide a safe space for discussion and the development of networks (Chatham House rules apply)
- Invite guests and speakers with interesting a motivational stories to tell
- Look for opportunities to enhance the lives and careers of women
Who is it for?
Any staff who are interested in discussion and networking.
How can I be involved?
Please email us at iwa@aston.ac.uk
Activities
We meet at 8am once a month at Boston Tea Party (Corporation Street) for breakfast. All are welcome and there is no need to book (just drop in anytime between 8-10am)
If you are attending for the first time, please contact us at iwa@aston.ac.uk so that we can give you the name of someone to look out for.
