“WithSocial Media Women we have created a safe place for women to gainexperience and confidence to ask questions, learn and challengethemselves to grow, evolve and aspire.”
“It’s a strategic group.It’s more than just talking about social media tools. It’s about takinga step back and seeing the big picture. It’s about collaboration andnurturing of ideas and creating change from them,” said Ms Pollard.

This is sexist, is it not?
great place to meet women
I look forward to the comments from all the women who are forever complaining about ‘the boys club’.
If “Social media comes naturally to women” then why do they need a club to “encourage and assist women to participate more prominently in social media”
