I joined about a week ago. Very excited about it. Maybe women can get things done where men haven't been able to.

I joined, while it was still free. :D It is too early to tell what if anything they may accomplish.

Griff, I did not see anything that would prevent you from joining, if you want to help women network in the industry. I expect that men already have this figured out ?

Wow
I was one of the first members that attempted to join the club. And my name wasnt put into the directory yet IM receiving emails
I called the telephone number that was provided to ask to see why my name wasnt added to the directory.
And this lady by the name of Catherine was RUDE. WOW
She was mean! Meaner than I am. She said that she didnt know when my name was going to be added and told me to give her a break. And said she didnt appreciate me calling her.
WOW This is a warning, if these people are this snotty and rude, Women out there can do much better, stay away from this WHI

Apparently they don't have many on staff yet, it's only 2 or 3 people so far and they are trying to keep up with a huge amount of members. It's a fledgling group so I'd give her a break and wait a little bit, your name will show up. I also think it's going to be a great group, like I said, it's brand new and they need a chance.
