‘EPWN/CW Hague Xmas Dinner’
Tuesday 20 December 2011, 19:00-22:00
Van der Valk Pier Scheveningen
2586 JK Den Haag

Dear ladies,
In order to celebrate the festive season, we’ll be doing something different this month:– instead of a Borrel, we are organising an EPWN/CW Hague Xmas Dinner!

We are very much looking forward to welcoming you to this EPWN/CW Hague Xmas Dinner, which shall take place on Tuesday 20 December 2011, from 19:00-22:00 at Van der Valk Pier Scheveningen!

This Xmas Dinner also provides a great opportunity for meeting other women, networking and exchanging views about work/life in The Netherlands. And remember that everybody is welcome, membership is not required, nor is celebrating Xmas required.

For this Dinner we have managed to secure a special rate of €45,– per person, which includes a welcome drink, a 3-course dinner and unlimited drink between 19:00-22:00.
Registration
Please make sure you register your attendance (either as a member or as a guest) above. Alternatively, you can send an email to Erika at erika@bothassistanceandsupport.nl. Please also don’t forget to de-register if you are not able to make it after all!

We need to confirm the number of attendees with the restaurant 24 hours in advance. When pre-registered people do not show up, this puts us in a difficult position, as the restaurant has prepared food for more people.
We hope many of you will join us for our EPWN/CW Hague Xmas Dinner and we are looking forward to seeing you all on the 20th!

Warm regards,
Karin Bosscher, Erika Both & Anna Farrenkopf

A lot of women fulfill various roles, also roles that often are seen as male roles. Power and influence are often seen as male characteristics. Each and every working women askes herself at a certain point in her career: is this what I want and how can I influence myself to turn things around in such a way that I am true to myself.

Roy Ramdjanamsingh, founder of Synques International, will take us on a journey on the various elements that impact femine power and how we women are able to use our power to create the best circumstances possible.

By using the Q4 Personal Style Analysis gives you a universal language of behavior and communication.There is no ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ in the results, no opinion. Q4 Profiles is based on the quality and strength of each individual. This gives a handle to the differences between people better use and understand.
