“I’m delighted to become an advocate of WUN. I see this as an opportunity to help other WUN members in building good relationships with people who can offer support, even if I can’t! Since joining WUN, I have gained fresh ideas, built confidence, gained a different perspective, strengthened business connections & advanced my career. I am committed to partner with like-minded individuals as I see advocacy can be a powerful and important catalyst for change. I’m eager that through my advocacy work I can encourage more people to join the WUN community to realise the benefits that I’ve gained by being part of the Network. Together I hope we can organise and influence some great Networking events in the future so that we not only build long-lasting business connections but perhaps some great personal relationships too”
