In Miami many, many moons ago we had a really great "Ladies' Luncheon". We got our food and drink, sat down like adult women, went around the room introducing ourselves, telling a bit ourselves, and then had a talks about what was going on in biz, where we thought it was headed, etc. I met most of the women I still know in this biz that day and it would be wonderful it could be duplicated. 
However, an ongoing dues required "club" just doesn't seem needed in any way, shape or form, IMHO.

Janey and Ros lunch was the first ever event I actually went to, and it was absolutely fantastic.
I've been to several of the WIA meetings and while there are lots of things that I do and like to do with a variety of people in this business, I dont think that getting together as a group is wrong for the women in the business, provided they give the rest of the industry a clear understanding of what their purpose is and how they are going about it.
This industry is already fragmented, perhaps its time for those with a long term strategy to start thinking about alignments and so on for the next round.
To say that what Holly is attempting to do is wrong given the amount of work she does on it is just wrong.
I'm kind of in an uncommon position sometimes I think, who knows, I was a little amazed today when out of 40 golfers there was only one other 'chick' playing. But hey, she ended up on my team and we came in second, due in part to my girl dropping 35 footers in the clutch.
I don't play that guys against the girls stuff in the business tho, it just doesn't work that way and only screws things up all the way around. You work with the people you find a good fit with and the rest of them you wish them well and go on about your business.
