Power of Women Exchange: POWE

Jane Toombes, Muchmor Media:

I joined POWE because I was new to the area and wanted to meet like-minded women. Since joining I have gained many useful business contacts and my company Muchmor Media has become a POWE media parter offering special advertising packages to help members promote their businesses. I would also like to think that I have made some personal friends through POWE.

Gayle Crosmaz-Brown, Crosmaz and Brown Emporium:

“Joining POWE was like joining a extended family, the positive energy, sharing and caring, helps you feel that you can accomplish anything. Many members came out to help support my new business launch, making it a great success. I had the opportunity to present my products and services to several different chapters across Ontario making important contacts along the way. At one such meeting, when asked what I liked about POWE, I answered that I have been a woman in business for over 30 years, in different businesses across Canada. But I always felt alone out there fighting for my spot in the world. Now, I am not alone any more, and you don’t know how important that feeling can be.”

Heather Lang, Cedarlane Financial Consulting:

“POWE has provided inspiration, comfort , knowledge and prospects! I have found the atmosphere very supportive and congenial. Its my testing ground for new presentations and feed back with a great group of business women from all kinds of backgrounds. It’s great to get together and relax over lunch and chat with so many other self-employed ladies facing a lot of the same issues I do. Never a dull moment!”

Sandy Grenning of Unlimited Organizing Solutions:

“Well now let’s see what hasn’t POWE done for me? It has provided me with an unlimited number of new contacts, it has allowed me to come out of my shell and present my business at one of their meetings, it has encouraged me to know “no limits” and it has opened several new and lasting friendships! Finally POWE is a group of strong, entrepreneurial women who are friendly, open and supportive — the best! At relay for life my husband was astounded at the number of people I knew and we have only lived in the area for one year.”

Darcelle Runciman of Hemlock Investments:

“POWE, has helped me by having a great venue to network, with online support, and with sales. I was also fortunate enough to do a radio show with top notch host, Rose-Anne Kumpunen www.blogtalkradio.com/realliferadio where people can hear for free on how to invest in real estate, how now is the best time to buy and the economics behind it. It’s a wonderful group of professional business women in our local area.”
