The Network currently delivers at least 10 in person events annually, supported by accountability groups, monthly Zoom coffee meet ups and expert online sessions. The Network aims to maintain a minimum of 150 members, with a focus on retention and recruitment. Core programming consists of monthly networking meetings (excluding August), each attracting 40 plus attendees. An annual membership fee applies, and prospective members may attend one meeting free. The Co ordinator is responsible for promoting the Network, with all campaigns and materials pre approved by LEO Dublin City.

Evaluation is required after every monthly meeting, with results included in a monthly report submitted within three days of month end.

All branding must reflect LEO Dublin City, and the Co ordinator maintains marketing materials, while design and printing may be arranged directly by LEO. Membership targets include maintaining 150 paid members and/or achieving 20 percent annual growth. Targets will be monitored and reviewed every six months. The Co ordinator is responsible for sustaining and growing the Network, setting a development vision, identifying key issues for female entrepreneurship, proposing annual activities, staying informed about other women in business initiatives, and developing communication and promotion plans. Duties include keeping members informed, responding to queries, evaluating programme impact, preparing an annual report, promoting LEO services, updating website content, managing authorised social media channels, and overseeing membership and fees. Event responsibilities include delivering 11 monthly meetings, proposing venues and refreshments, sourcing speakers, organising joint events with partner agencies, supporting International Women’s Day and National Women’s Enterprise Day, planning the Annual Female Entrepreneur Awards, considering a summer networking event, and leveraging collaboration opportunities through webinars and in person activities. Reporting requirements include quarterly review meetings with the Head of Enterprise, monthly activity reports with evaluation data, and an annual report submitted with statistical information and recommendations.
