eWomenNetwork to Promote Pittsburgh Business Women

PITTSBURGH, PA (PittsburghNewsWire.com) — New Managing Director, Jan Elliott, has been appointed to lead the Pittsburgh Chapter of eWomenNetwork to assist area women in building business relationships and finding new ways to turn networking interactions into new clients and increased sales transactions.

“According to the Small Business Association, women are starting businesses three times the rate of men in Pittsburgh and account for two thirds of the job market”,  said, Jan Elliott, Managing Director of eWomenNetwork in Pittsburgh. “The Pittsburgh Chapter of eWomenNetwork focusses on the needs of these businesswomen. Our trademarked ‘accelerated networking events’ speeds up building business connections and exchanging resources among other female business owners, entrepreneurs, and professionals. eWomenNetwork is a big business booster”, she said.

“Now, more than ever, women realize that networking is a vital business skill”, says Sandra Yancey, founder and CEO of the Dallas-based eWomenNetwork. “Women network differently than men, just as we communicate differently. eWomenNetwork has created a relationship-building approach that honors how women like to interact in business. We have created our own systems and strategies that produce the opportunities, results, and revenue we women need to make our businesses grow and prosper.”

The Pittsburh Chapter of eWomenNetwork now joins 118 other chapters throughout North America, each of which offers monthly Accelerated Networking Events, as well as frequent Strategic Business Introduction workshops and “Breakthroughs over Breakfast” sessions, for its members and their guests.

Founded in 2000 and sponsored by Microsoft, American Express OPEN, UPS and Dell, eWomenNetwork is the most visited women’s business website and producer of the largest four-day women’s business conference in in North America. The office of the President of the United States recognized eWomenNetwork as one of the top women’s business organizations at the forefront of the success of the women’s business initiative.
