My name is Rosalind and I have a job. I am a Development Worker for a not-for-profit organisation called Services for Independent Living. We provide services for people with disabilities and you can find us at www.s4il.co.uk
“Well, what’s so enterprising woman about that?” I hear you ask. My role is to generate new business and embed it in the service. It’s a very competitive market out here. We have to fight for every scrap and I use all my enterprising skills developed in the past running my own businesses making lampshades, network marketing and teaching communication skills.
I was introduced to MONEW in 2006 by it’s inspirational founder, Roslyn Aubrey, just at a time in my life when I needed uplifting by the positive examples of women taking responsibility for their lives, however unreasonable the odds, carving out niches for themselves with integrity, passion and self-belief. I got involved in the committee as I figured this was the best way to maximise the influence of these women I have now come to know and respect so much. And that influence has been immeasurable. I have learnt so much from the networking and training opportunities that MONEW has offered. Working together is such a powerful force for achieving goals, effecting change and building community. The influence of MONEW is an essential part of my personal and professional development and as MONEW itself evolves I intend to be a part of that.
Rosalind is MONEW’s first honorary member in recognition of her inspiring contribution to our lively committee. Do you wish to join us and help to make MONEW your own? Contact Sue to learn how you can be part of the joy and creativity of our committee.
