Social Media Women come together

A trio of PR women have hatched Social Media Women, a formal networking
group that aims to encourage and assist women to participate more
prominently in social media.

Launched on International Women's Day, the founding members include Nancy Georges (Magnolia Solutions), Catriona Pollard (CP Communications) and Kristin Rohan (Sassy SEO).

"Social media comes naturally to women. We are networkers, nurturers, gatherers, builders of villages and communicators," said
Pollard, adding the group will give women a voice in all areas of
social media.

“Women want inspiration and collaboration, support and confidence. They don’t want self proclaimed social media
guru’s pushing them to the sidelines," she said. "With Social Media
Women we have created a safe place for women to gain experience and
confidence to ask questions, learn and challenge themselves to grow,
evolve and aspire.”

“It’s a strategic group. It’s more than just talking about social media tools. It's about taking a step back
and seeing the big picture. It’s about collaboration and nurturing of
ideas and creating change from them,” she added.

Social Media Women is both online and in person, with meetings taking place on the second Tuesday of every month at 6:30pm.

The group welcomes all women whether working on their own or in an
existing company, business, organisation or still studying, according
to information from a release. It’s for women that are interested in
media, networking, communications and exploring the new ways people are
communicating.

The first meeting will be Tuesday 9 March at Blues Point Hotel, 116 Blues Point Rd, McMahons Point 2060. To register: http://socialmediawomen.eventbrite.com/
