Women's Networks Survey
- Women's networks, e-groups, forums, caucuses, etc. helping to
empower women - or maybe they're not?

Many thanks to everyone who has taken part so far - the response has
been really great and is bringing up some unexpected responses - but
we really want the survey results to be as representative as possible,
so if you haven't taken the survey yet, we hope you will when you have
time:
* Either online at
http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=2fZvcIKV4hHLT8zoHGouEg_3d_3d
* Or download the survey as word document from
http://www.womeninlondon.org.uk/download/MappingWomensNetworksSurvey.doc

Thanks!
