2011 is ending with a wave and roar of energy - and I look ahead with great anticipation to 2012 (Year of the Dragon - wonder what mythical, powerful opportunities await!).

The great positive energy super-charging the end of my 2011? Here are some of the reasons - 

The launch of Women Innovate Mobile, an acceletor program for tech startups with women founders which are developing mobile products.

The Women Entrepreneurs Fesitval 2012 in January (with Janet Hanson moderating the investors panel).

Co-presenting with 85 Broads member Jennifer Johnson at the LMA in Toronto as well as moderating a panel at the LMA's annual conference.

Co-chairing the 2012 Alley to the Valley Conference in Silicon Valley at SAP's Executive Center with super-connector Judy Robinett. 

Joining the startup advisory boards of Stone Creek Entertainment, Lion'esque Style and The Levo League and the advisory board of The WunderGlo Foundation. 

And there is a common thread between all of these opportunities  (in case you were wondering....).  That golden thread is my network, including the one which has come from being a contributing, involved and engaged member of this and other professional networks.

Build your network and create the professional life you want to lead.
