OUR STORY

The shift from Creative Women's Circle to The Exchange Society is driven by our evolving mission and a commitment to adapting to changing times.

It started as a desire to connect…

To connect creative women to share information, inspiration, and ideas.

For nearly two decades this not-for-profit organisation has done just that. We’ve connected 1000s of creative women, hosted talks, networking events, mentoring programs, workshops, panels, and celebrations, and continue to connect creative women across the spectrum of creative pursuits.

Our members include everyone from graphic designers to authors, and sole business owners or CEOs in small and large businesses.

The evolution from…

Creative Women's Circle to The Exchange Society was born out of a strategic necessity to align with the evolving landscape of our creative community and the broader professional world.
Recognising the need for inclusivity and adaptability in today's dynamic environment, the transition allows us to extend our reach beyond gender-specific boundaries, fostering connections with a diverse range of individuals.
The Exchange Society signifies a proactive move towards a more expansive and collaborative network, emphasising innovation, growth, and partnership opportunities.
This evolution not only reflects our commitment to diversity but also positions us as a forward-thinking organisation ready to embrace the limitless potential of collective creativity and exchange.

The Exchange Society is steered by a pro-active Board and supported by a loyal base of members, partners and volunteers. Today the Board continually strive to meet the market and to provide programs and classes to support diverse women in all professional fields.

Whether you're seeking a community of dynamic individuals for collaboration, feedback on your latest business venture, opportunities to enhance your technical skills, or a wellspring of inspiration and support to fuel your creative journey, The Exchange Society is here to empower you.
