The Network of Executive Women has reached a new milestone in membership activation with the online registration of 2,146 members, according to NEW Executive Director Joan Toth.
"This new milestone is not only driven by attendance at our 2009 Leadership Summit, but by the extraordinary efforts of our corporate ambassadors, who have done an outstanding job of getting their colleagues involved," Toth said. The vast majority of Network members are sponsored by their companies.
The revamped NEWonline.org platform was launched May 25 and includes a host of networking and collaboration tools, including personal profiles, photo albums and blogs, plus home pages for each region and national Title Sponsor.
Preliminary results of a survey of Network members attending this year's Leadership Summit show that 38 percent of members visit the site at least once a month. An additional 52 percent say they visit the site when they need to register for events.
Toth said she expects "membership growth to continue, driven by increased regional activity, conference registrations and sponsorship activation."
