AUBURN — Power networking will be the topic of the Wednesday, Sept. 12, meeting of the Androscoggin Chapter of the Maine Women’s Network.

The monthly meetings at the Hilton Garden Inn in Auburn are open to all interested. They provide networking opportunities for members to market themselves and their businesses, as well as to make personal contacts.
