Betsey Nash became the first president of the San Luis Obispo Women’s Network, and a board of directors was developed. The San Luis Obispo Women's Network is a lively, diverse group of women dedicated to supporting, encouraging and empowering women to reach their fullest potential both personally and professionally. Its beginning dates back to 1979 when Connie Framberger had left her job, was unemployed, and was looking for focus. Connie was looking for other business women to talk with, and since there were not many women in business at that time, Connie decided to begin a personal and career development group rather than a service club. Pandora Nash was working with Connie’s husband, and she and Connie met for lunch to discuss the possibilities of starting such a group. In September 1979, the first group of women (approximately 20 women) met at Howard Johnson’s in San Luis Obispo. There was no formal name for the group, no officers, no specific agenda or policies, and no fancy brochures. People just showed up and paid for a salad bar lunch. |
