About NSWC:
Founded in 1984 by Linda Morkeski, North Shore Women in Business served as a way to develop a network of business women looking for business contacts. The first meeting was attended by 18 business women.
Over the years, our organization has changed and evolved to the group we are today. North Shore Women Connect serves as a membership-based networking organization designed to empower women personally and professionally through all of life's twists and turns. We currently have 70 active members.
Please join us at our 40th birthday for a look back at where it all began and where we are today!
This networking event is like no other you will see on the North Shore and is sure to bring a lot of laughs!
