About Networking Women of the Triangle

Networking Women of the Triangle was born in early 2016 when Founder JoNita Cox was in the midst of a job search. She found career networking support for women in the area was lacking so with the support of Co-Founder Angie “Gigi” Stephenson, JoNita started a Facebook group on March 16th, 2016. NWOTT is the premier place to connect, support, and inspire other women in the Triangle.
