Committee / SIG Updates

The RWN Membership Committee is looking for new members. They are currently meeting on the second Wednesday of every month at Noon. Please contact Amy Varel at avarel@mccmlaw.com for more information.

The Ambassador Committee is searching for more people to help welcome our newest members!  It is a great way to meet new people and also sing the praises of RWN.  Please contact Nancy Woolver at newoolver@ft.newyorklife.com or 585-683-2981 for more information!

Our members are our inspiration at Rochester Women’s Network, so the Programs Committee would love to hear your ideas on what events and programming you’d like to see offered in 2022.

This past year, members enjoyed speed networking sessions, social get-togethers both in-person and online, interactive talks on professional development and business-related issues, and of course our Women Rise conference, which featured discussions with panels of Rochester-area experts.

What would you like to see in 2022? Please email us at programs@rwn.org with ideas for programs and events and any questions you may have.

All RWN SIGs and Committees are looking for new members. Visit rwn.org to see where your talents and interests might fit in!
