In 2013, the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) launched the IWN in a bid to make it the most extensive network for career women. The thought behind the formation of IWN was that career women require a structured network to meet like-minded women to discuss and overcome challenges that they may be facing at the workplace. IWN works towards enabling women to become better professionals and achievers in their respective fields through various initiatives and activities. The CII IWN Chandigarh Chapter was formally launched in 2017. Through this network, the effort is to provide a platform for women to discuss issues and opportunities, and also learn from each other’s experiences and from expert guest speakers. IWN aspires to create diverse activities that will connect women from across the world.
WHEN & WHERE: 4.30 pm onwards on June 4 (Saturday) at CII Northern Region Headquarters, Sector 31 A, Chandigarh
