Women’s Business Network


The mission of the emccc Women’s Business Network is to provide businesswomen with opportunities for support, networking and learning.

This group meets once a month usually on the last Wednesday of the month at noon in the lower level Community Room of the Abington Township Public Library. During the summer months meetings are held at locations throughout the community offering unique learning experiences.   Women network during lunch and hear from speakers focusing on a variety of issues relating to women in business.
