Welcome to the Cardea Center for Women, Silicon Valley's first center for women and women's organizations. The Cardea Center for Women started with a vision to be the voice of women with the belief that all women should have access to opportunities. We use informational events and regular networking sessions to develop positive, values-based collaborative relationships in the community.
After a well-attended leadership session celebrating women's History Month and a round table discussion on collaborative strategies for NPOs, we have launched a monthly networking breakfast series as a nurturing, connecting time for busy women.
In September 2009, the Center will host a Women's Economic Forum as a timely medium for focusing on solutions for women impacted by the current recession. Be sure to keep an eye out in the coming weeks for details. We invite you to join the Center and partner with us in strengthening our vision of opening the doors to social and economic opportunities to women from all backgrounds and ethnicities.
To continue to go forward, we need your financial support too. Your generous donations will be a source of encouragement to all of us as we work to create a special space for women in Silicon Valley. A volunteer board and supporters serve CCW. If you're interested in serving in any capacity, please let us know by sending e-mail to info@cardeacenterforwomen.org.
