Women's Network slates meeting

AUBURN — On Wednesday, November 7, at the Hilton Garden Inn in Auburn, the Androscoggin Chapter of the Maine Women’s Network (MWN) invites members, guests, and the general public to its next meeting.

Each meeting provides networking opportunities for attendees to market themselves and their businesses, as well as to make personal contacts. The November program will include a dynamic and hands-on presentation by Felica Coney on how to connect with others, make the best impressions, and communicate who you are, with lessons especially geared toward women.

Felica W. Coney, Procter & Gamble Auburn Plant Manager, was born in Portland, OR, and raised in Delhi, LA. She attended Southern University A&M, graduating with a BS in Civil Engineering. As a Procter & Gamble (P&G) manager for 19 years, Felica has worked in various areas and sites for P&G.

Felica’s current role is Plant Manager of P&G’s Tambrands manufacturing facility in Auburn. As Plant Manager, Felica helped lead the work to launch the new Flexi-Center at her plant. This initiative seamlessly fits into P&G’s Diversity Strategy where at P&G: Everyone is Valued, Everyone is Included and Everyone is Able to perform at their peak.

It is instrumental in creating employment opportunities for people with disabilities and is an example on leveraging diversity to create a competitive advantage. This speaker will leave you wanting to know where she is speaking next!

The lunch will begin at 11:30 a.m. The cost, only $16 for members and $20 for non-members, includes everything. Nonmembers are always welcome. Members are encouraged to register their guests in advance for the member rate.
