Dedication & Vision:

Women’s Creative Network (WCN) was created in November 2001 by three women who shared a vision to collaborate and support other women’s creative dreams. WCN is dedicated to the memory of Melitta Slaught, whose spirit was the original spark that ignited the vision for a Women’s Creative Network. With infinite thanks to Laurie Dean and Colleen McCarthy-Evans for sharing the vision.
