Is there a Facebook group for Des Plaines Professional Women? If not, would anyone be interested in being a part of one?

@ferritin I tried putting a networking group together but I never had time to organize. I would love to be a part of one

@ferritin @multifid0 @humidity743 would you be open to starting at the FB group level if I coordinated and then expanded out from there? I am also a circle leader for Women Belong if anyone is looking for ongoing in-person business and professional growth support.

Hi @effeminize! Thanks for this. I should have been a little more clear in my original post as to a Facebook Group and will update that now!  
by (5.7k points)
@effeminize I have tried contacting the chamber and no one ever responded to me. Do you know who to contact?  
by (800 points)
@humidity743 Andrea Biwer is the exec director abiwer@dpchamber. com or Andrea Friedman- program director afreidman@dpchamber. com

@effeminize is the Chamber of Commerce specific to DP businesses, though?  
by (800 points)
@epinasty no - businesses in nearby towns are also in the chamber

I would be interested. As somebody who was recently unemployed, networking locally would be a welcome change (versus the city)
