Marin Women at Work
"The girlfriends approach to building businesses".
Our vision at Marin & Sonoma Women at Work
is to bring women in business
together to encourage and support one another;
a group where our personal journey's are shared as well as our business goals and successes. And now more than ever we need to show our collective support. Strength in numbers.
We believe networking and community are the keys to success in business.
When women work together anything is possible.
Today, tomorrow and always.
Welcome to our Marin Women at Work site,
a networking & direct referral group for women in business.
Join our tribe!
Whether you have been in business for years or are just starting out, if you are an empty nester or ending a corporate career; we invite you to join Marin or Sonoma Women at Work. We are a community of professional women that work together to build each other up to educate to share and most of all live life to its fullest while we are doing it. Life is too short not to have fun along the way!

MWAW members support each other: Big shout out to MWAW member Letitia Hanke and her crew at ARS Roofing. They did a great job on removing my old roof and installing a new one -- the team was a pleasure to work with and it's great to support members in our group! And a lifetime warranty on the roof... feels great!

It is no surprise that I like this book, its like you are reading something your girlfriend wrote to you. If you are starting a business or feeling stuck or even a little insecure about your path, this is a must read. As business owners its easy to feel alone on your journey, Carrie will help you get to the next step.
Just started this book and I am already enjoying it immensely. Well written, instructive, providing useful tools for success. Everyone with goals can learn from Ray's success. Its a little intimidating as this guy is so smart and quite honestly I did not understand all of it, but Principles will help you level up.
I love this book! Jessica Butts writing style is direct, bold, honest; she allows for no excuses in making changes in your life. Even if you know your Meyers-Briggs Personality Type (or especially if you do) this is a must read
This is not a new read (published in 2011) but I love this woman and anything she writes. And this is book is different in that it helps you look outside the norm, to take a difficult situation and make it work for you. Think outside the box!
MWAW Member Review: We love this group of innovative and supportive Entrepreneurs. We have been members for 2 years and over that time developed strong relationships with women who have become mentors, clients and friends. Karen keeps the group focused yet casual...we are all encouraged to participate and be part of this amazing group of women. I encourage anyone looking to develop not only their business but themselves to attend a couple meetings so you can learn for yourself. Molly & Deanna/Legacy Concierge Service
