how to be a social wahine

everywhere you look, there seems to be a new business opening up in the islands owned by a woman with only a dream and a little bit of moxie to guide her. for the rest of us, all this grrl power has meant access to the latest styles, gourmet treats, a helping hand, and a few more choices which is definitely a good thing in a world gone mad with big box stores.

however, the demands of being your own boss means 24/7 is spent nurturing your creation making it difficult to take a breather to dish with other business owners. and that's where social wahines comes in.

the island style networking group is the creation of morgan childs & danielle scherman, two local girls who made their way to nyc where they launched successful event planning companies. after morgan returned home to the islands, the two friends noticed hawaii's newest generation of businesswomen needed a way to collaborate with other like minded ladies. and so, social wahines was born earlier this year as a way for young professional women in the islands to expand their circle by mixing business with pleasure.

events are held on the last tuesday of the month and have included wine tastings, spa nights, and sample sales (in fact, many of the participants at last weekend's closet swap are members of social wahines). this is definitely not your parents' networking group. in addition to bouncing ideas off people who understand your world, membership has its privileges including discounts at sw partners, access to an online message board, and a resource directory.
