IWF Ireland FOR OURSELVES event

Sun, 14 Sep 2008 07:30:00 EST

IWF Ireland is organising a very special 'away' session for Irish members and our colleagues from the UK and continental Europe, and Canada. This event takes place at Bellinter House, Navan, Co Meath, from the evening of Sunday 14th September to the morning of Tuesday 16th. We have titled the event as 'FOR OURSELVES' because that is exactly what it is - an opportunity to relax, to participate in some invigorating sessions and to focus on us as individuals rather than our professional lives. Bellinter House is a beautiful venue (see www.bellinterhouse.com); it is relatively small so we can accommodate just 30 members each in own room. Reservations are therefore going to be managed on a first-come-first-served basis.

I've just joined IWF Canada and look forward to meeting an exciting group of women. What does the organization expect of me?

We hope you'll share your insight and experience at some of our events - not just in your local chapter but nationally and internationally.

Thu, 15 Nov 2007 05:27:00 EST
