Womenetics and ION Collaborate to Advance Women in Business

ATLANTA, June 13, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Womenetics and InterOrganization Network (ION) are pleased to announce they will partner to provide opportunities, tools and inspiration to women in business. As the gap between the amount of women and men in the U.S. workforce continues to diminish, it is important for these numbers to carry over and be reflected on the executive level. Through this partnership, the two organizations will collaborate to build awareness and to further women's roles in business and the boardroom. Together, Womenetics and ION will create opportunities to advocate and advance women in leadership positions and to empower professional women in the corporate and entrepreneurial realms.

"Womenetics is pleased to partner with ION to uplift professional women and to provide them with the tools they need to make an impact at the highest levels of business. This alliance enables Womenetics and ION to engage executive women across the country that are poised to take on greater roles in corporate America."
