Blogging from A to Z 2022 - Next

#AtoZChallenge 2022 Blogging from A to Z Challenge letter

Welcome to Day 14 of the Blogging from A to Z April Challenge (2022) I will be discussing topics of interest to those who identify as women this year. The Book Connection is lucky number 78 in a list of more than 140 bloggers who are participating in 2022. I encourage you to check out the list and visit other blogs with topics of interest. 

NEXT

I had a totally different word in mind when I started this post, but then I stumbled across The Next Women and thought it would be interesting to talk about. The Next Women is a global community, a female growth network for entrepreneurs. Their website states this group invests in female founders, thereby helping these companies to build an environment of inclusion and equality. 

Yesterday, I participated in the At Home with Diversity Certification Course offered by the National Association of REALTORS®. Some of the topics this program covers are diversity, equity, inclusion, and fair housing. As president of our local association, I am committed to making our association as inclusive as possible, and hope to develop a leadership program that allows us to attract leaders who reflect the diversity of our membership. 

The Next Women seems to be based on the other side of the ocean. Maybe a United States chapter should be formed. 

Have you heard of The Next Women? What professional organizations to you belong to that embrace inclusion and equity?
