Many of my most treasured relationships are the ones I have made at the West Valley Women Networking Association. The organization is in its 19th year of fostering business connections, networking opportunities and friendships for women in the community. As the owner and Chief Connections Officer, I am proud of our members’ contribution to the West Valley Community. Under our coaching umbrella, I help sensitive introverted professionals connect with confidence. Come join us. West Valley Women, where one can experience the Art of Networking. We make networking fun!
