Almost there …

I suppose this site's technically live already as it's been accessible to the general public for a week or so now even while we continue its development. 

In reality, the site's not 100% there yet.  A core development remaining is a members-only professional networking facility. It's laid bare under APEC Women Connect in the menu.  Members (or registered users) will have the opportunity to create their own profiles containing information about themselves, the organisation they are affiliated with and what sort of interactions they are aiming for with other APEC Women members.

These profiles will be initially searchable via parameters such as name, organisation, country and city.  We can be more targeted with our efforts to connect with other members, whatever our interests are — public policy, business, arts, entertainment, community development, social entrepreneurship, etc.  How great is that?    

And there's more to come.  But I'd rather not dwell on them here.  Now.  Well, at least not until I get through the first hurdle of delivering the above.  

I got a young freelance web developer in Vietnam who's helping me with doing just that.  Going (truly) live sometime this month is definitely in the cards.  If you'd like to be advised when that curtain-raising moment happens, subscribe now to our e-mail notification service.  You'll be notified every time a new post appears here.  Or drop me your e-mail address using the contact form below.

 

About the author

Grace Chu Te I have been involved with WLN since 2007 and now manage WLN's official website at apecWLN.org. I started getting into e-things (and became irreversibly "addicted" to them) in 2004 after a professional lifetime as a business/economic analyst. With APEC Women I'm trying to build an online community where we can meet and connect so that we can do small and big things together that help improve the status of women everywhere.
