I have recently had the opportunity to meet several new women entrepreneurs in Pittsburgh who are working on building some exciting companies.

I am looking for other women bloggers in Pittsburgh who would be interested in meeting to network and meet some of these entrepreneurs.  If this first event goes well, we are looking at making this a monthly event.

I am organizing an event next Monday or Tuesday before Thanksgiving.  If you a women, you have a blog and you would like to attend – click here to let us know what date and time works best for you.   (We’ll try to find a time that works for most people and we can plan a second event if needed.)

The folks at c-leveled, a consulting firm that works with small businesses and startups, has offered to host this meeting at their offices in Bloomfield. (Full disclosure – I work part-time for c-leveled).

Networking With a Few Good Women – Propelle Happy Hour Thursday 11/14

One of the things that I am occasionally asked about is how to connect with other people in Pittsburgh.  Yes, Pittsburgh often seems like a super friendly place to be, but sometimes – and especially for those who are new to Pittsburgh – it can feel like it is hard to break into a new group of people.

If you are looking to connect with some impressive, inspirational, creative women in Pittsburgh – than Propelle is a great place to start.

Propelle was founded by three Pittsburgh women who wanted to create a group, a website and a series of events to help other women connect, network and propel their dreams forward.

NHHemailwithplaneEvery 3 months, Propelle hosts a networking happy hour to give women in Pittsburgh and opportunity to meet, learn (and have some fun).  This Thursday, Propelle celebrates their 2nd anniversary with a happy hour at Savoy in the Strip District.  Anyone is welcome to attend.  Tickets are $5 online and $10 at the door, with a portion of the proceeds benefiting a local charity.  Previous Propelle events have sold out, so it is a good idea to buy your tickets ahead of time.

See who is attending and join the conversation on Facebook here.

Links Worth a Look for August 25, 2008

Here are three things that are worth a look:

  • Good night, states and summer – A rave review of the Good Night States show at Gooski’s”After the party, I caught a local 3 bands/$5 show at a dive bar. What can one expect from a local band? A good time, some earnest musicanship, perhaps flickers of great potential. What I didn’t prepare for, was to be stunned by the opening band, Good Night, States. My buddy and I kept looking at each other in disbelief. I suppose every band toils in the minor leagues before their big break, but geez, I can’t see too many more dive bar shows in their future. “
  • In Sisterhood – In Sisterhood is a project that is part of Pittsburgh 250 and is working to document women’s history of the region.From the Community Connections website “Pittsburgh was one of the four epicenters of the national women’s rights movement – a fact few people realize. Oral historian Pat Ulbrich thinks that the time to capture and relate that history is right NOW.””Less than 40 years ago, when Pittsburghers such as Gerald Gardner and JoAnn Evansgardner (both of whom are subjects of In Sisterhood interviews) opened a copy of the Pittsburgh Press to check the want-ads, they would find two sections: “Jobs – Male Interest,” and “Jobs – Female Interest.” The difference was stark. An example from one Press listing, from January 4, 1970 (exhibited in court documents), shows women’s jobs maxing out at salaries that amount to a mid-range men’s position, in one case offering over 50% more salary for men than women for the same position.”
