That’s how Teresa Thomas, Women in Networking Director, felt when she met Lori Spiess, VirtualOffiCenters CEO, at a speed networking event back in October of 2009. Both ladies knew the moment they met that collaboration between WIN and VOC was more probable than not.

Teresa invited Lori to a WIN luncheon and Lori invited Teresa to tour the Union Plaza location, and so marks the beginning of a partnership that grew stronger and stronger over the years.

Fast Forward to 2016
Teresa Thomas with WIN has been a member of VirtualOffiCenters for the past 7 years. WIN uses the CoWorking spaces in every location to hold events and meet with members. Lori Spiess/VirtualOffiCenters has attended, hosted and presented at several WIN lunches and Expos and, she was the very first recipient of the WIN-spiration Award in March of 2012. In addition, every February VirtualOffiCenters hosts, “Fall in Love With WIN”, a joint networking event that celebrates women entrepreneurs and connects them with like-minded individuals. This annual event is truly a testament to the CONNECTION that Women in Networking and VirtualOffiCenters have established.

Twice as NICE
Over the years many WIN members have become members at VirtualOffiCenters and, in turn, VirtualOffiCenters members have joined Women in Networking. Currently there are 12 dynamic women business leaders who enjoy the benefits of both WIN and VOC. And, that number will surly increase as both groups grow their own membership.
