Our Mission & Meaning
w.o.m.e.n. EO, inc. is a not for profit organization whose mission is to do exactly what our name stands for:
We Own Mentor Empower Nurture Each Other
Our Purpose...
... is to provide a safe environment for WOMEN to talk about their successes, as well as cry about their perceived failures.
... is to offer a place to find rest from the "storms" at our jobs, in our homes – and at times - in our own minds.
... is to look into the face of another person sharing a like experience with their child, spouse, partner or friend and ask, "What do you think?" What did you do?"
.. is to recognize the fact that it "does take a village," and to know that it's "Okay" to NOT KNOW the answer.
Thank you for your support and consideration in being part of the team. We are looking forward to you helping us do great things all across America. Your generous donation to w.o.m.e.n. EO, Inc. is tax-deductible. Desire to be a Member or an Ambassador? Send us your contact information via email to womens.group@yahoo.com.
