Each month the women meet for a face to face gathering often in the early hours of the morning to benefit from the various events, speakers and programming offered by We2.<\/p>\n<div>\n<br \/>\u201cIt is the soul of We2 that makes it so special.\u201d Miller said during her speech at the holiday fair at the Beaconsfield Golf Club, \u201cThe Women of We2 encourage each other to reach new levels of growth, yet it goes beyond business. Deep friendships bloom. We are there for the great achievements and successes, but also for those times when we need a helping hand, perhaps facing business or health challenge.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Miller believes face to face meetings help build relationships, creating ongoing business and referrals for We2 members, yet the We2 reach goes beyond the immediate group. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have members being found through our We2 website and weekly newsletter and they are getting business calls and contracts from large companies, even universities\u201d <\/p>\n<p>The Women\u2019s Entrepreneurial Exchange is open to members and guests.
