Women’s Laundry Network
Women In The Laundry Industry
As part of CLA’s commitment to support and develop a network of professional women within the laundry industry, CLA’s Women’s Laundry Network was founded as an effort to connect, collaborate, and empower women in the vended laundry industry. This community is a space for support, resources, leadership and inspiration.
WLN Facebook Group
Join CLA’s new Facebook group for women in the industry to share ideas, ask questions and network with other women. This group is open to any woman in the industry, whether you own a store now, looking to get into the business, or work for the companies that support the industry.
Women contend with a wide range of challenges in business. This network was created to provide a support system essential for success and encourages participation through:
Connect
Connect with your peers across the industry to exchange ideas.
Collaborate
Meet women with a wide range of perspectives, learn the tools for success and collaborate with women who will support you.
Empower
Develop skills that grow and expand your career, your business and your network.
As a community of women, we want to help you achieve, succeed and prosper. CLA has created a task force to further develop this initiative.
Interested in participating? Reach out to Danielle Bauer, Executive Vice President or Nika Thomas, Director of Advertising and Sponsorship Sales.
