Bettina Network, inc. NEWS is a new addition to the Bettina Network Blog.\u00a0 Appearing periodically, without timetable predictability, this is a way for you to keep up with all that we do – where you will find a Bettina person, event – some definitions and redefinitions of who we are and what we are doing –\u00a0 updates on past events, activities, and more.<\/p>\n
MOST RECENTLY<\/strong> – we infiltrated Harvard Business School Women’s Conference “Let’s Go!”<\/strong><\/p>\n One of our leaders was the second woman to be accepted into and attend one of Harvard Business School’s Executive Programs and the conference was a part of celebrating fifty years of women at Harvard Business School.<\/p>\n It was a great event with over 1,000 women and a very few very brave men who just couldn’t stay away.\u00a0\u00a0 We met one man from Milwaukee, Wisconsin holding up his sex and his company.\u00a0 His company sounds as though they are doing much to help this world become a more equal place.\u00a0 We say “sounds as though” because long years of experience tells us not to give kudos for such without much investigation and that we have not done – thus a comment without man or company names.<\/p>\n It was a kind of shock to see the way of the world in large, fairly new companies which are there because of the advent of the internet.\u00a0 Their representatives talked about “teams”, “mentors”, “sponsors”.\u00a0 In large multi-national companies with world wide exposure through their life on the internet this, apparently,\u00a0 is needed to keep you, as one of their employees,\u00a0 from getting lost and becoming one of the minions instead of one of the management and on-your-way-up-people.<\/p>\n We tweeted, re-tweeted, favorited and more.\u00a0 It was great fun and much learning.\u00a0 Although the food wasn’t great.\u00a0 Not one organic anything from dinner the evening before for the conference speakers and panelists, through breakfast, lunch and by dinner the next evening we declined what was offered and went hunting for organic goats milk yogurt and kefir to make that food pass quickly through the system.<\/p>\n Yes, we did have a presence on a panel on hospitality and technology spreading the Bettina Gospel, during which we met some very impressive and very accomplished women from whom we hope to hear more.\u00a0 We have started to think on how to get them\u00a0 involved with Bettina Network, inc.\u00a0 – Interns, Partners, Consultants?\u00a0 If you have ideas, please let us know!<\/p>\n WE ARE GETTING FEEDBACK FROM YOU<\/strong> on the recent beginnings of sending out passwords and memberships in Bettina Network’s Lifestyle Community.<\/p>\n Mostly, your questions have been about the password allowing you access to Bettina’s Menu of Events and how much basic influence this gives you.\u00a0 It is wonderful getting the suggestions.\u00a0 We hope you will ADD EVENTS<\/strong> and use the Menu when you are looking for ELEGANT, GRACIOUS, WELL ORGANIZED EVENTS WITH SUBSTANTIAL Bettina-style content in which to take part.<\/strong><\/p>\n We have had many requests for passwords from people who want to be a part of Bettina Network’s Lifestyle Community and how to sign up!\u00a0 We are sorry to have to tell you, but there is no ‘sign up’ page on our web site or anyplace else for that to happen.\u00a0 To become a member you have to use the services of Bettina Network, inc. and the people at the point where you use Bettina Network’s services must recommend you for membership.\u00a0 Act ugly and no amount of money spent will get you that password.<\/p>\n BETTINA HOMES<\/strong><\/p>\n We have been in conversation over this for a long time.\u00a0 This Newspage announces that homes which belong to Bettina Network, inc. and those joining in the future are and will be Bettina Homes<\/strong>.\u00a0 Bed and Breakfast is quite inadequate to describe one of the services we offer. Bed & breakfast has become a term overused, misused, describing everything from a hostel to a five star hotel room and the name carries nothing to begin to describe what you can expect in terms of quality or anything else.<\/p>\n We acknowledge the history of from whence we have come, but moving through the present into the future, Bettina Homes<\/strong> is the creation from that history by Bettina Network, inc.<\/p>\n For us to be able to be more specific and so you will know the basic quality you can expect from just hearing the terms, we have adopted and will use Bettina Homes<\/strong> to describe the places, services offered, etc.\u00a0 We do stand out and it is time for the name of one of the very particular services we offer to reflect that stand-outness.<\/p>\n The necessary legal trappings to insure that only homes in the Bettina Network, inc. can carry that name -can call themselves a Bettina Home – have been applied for.\u00a0 While we do not go after people who use our blogs, even though we put a copyright on them, we will go after people who try to call themselves “Bettina Homes” because we do not want to see created the kind of confusion around Bettina Homes which exists today around bed & breakfast or Inns, or Guest Houses, or etc.\u00a0\u00a0 When you make a reservation to stay in a Bettina Home we want to insure that you have a good basic idea as to what you can expect.\u00a0 <\/strong>All of our homes are not exact replicas of one another and they vary and will continue to vary by location, kind of services offered, physical architectural look of the place, price, etc. There are basics which they all share which is why we take one and not another home into Bettina Network, inc. and that quality is what we want you all to know and be able to expect.<\/p>\n So – until the next time we meet in Bettina Network, inc. NEWS, — keep safe, stay human and be responsible for yourself and others.<\/p>\n ________________________________________________________________<\/p>\n
