Ladies I need your help.

I saw some need for the ladies to either participate. Maybe we need some classes for the ladies.

Now I don’t want to seem chauvinistic so I need help. I know some women want to get down and dirty with the guys. LOL anyway you get what I really mean, please assist me in what we could involve the ladies in future events.
Personally my wife doesn’t want anything to do with PW. At my house PW stops around 6 and I’m not allowed to talk about it. She is never coming to a PW event, so with this I have forgotten that some may have different interest than my own wife. I get sort of jealous seeing some of the husband wife teams.
1. Maybe a best husband and wife team
2. An office oriented seminar for organizing the office.
3. QuickBooks certification.
4. Women only hose rolling contest.
5. Husbands enter a letter about the support there wives give them and we select the best wrote letter because we know the wife wrote it anyway.
As you see, I’m lost.
Some wives don’t even want the separations from male female thing. Yes I have women techs working for me. I even have a sister that PW. She would be in the hose rolling contest and Robert would not have stood a chance.

Ladies and Guys, Please give us some ideas. Ladies that have been to the events I know we could have done something a little different.

Next time I have and Idea for junior washers for sure. I saw about 20 kids.
 
I think it great that you are looking to help target specific subset of the PW organization. I admit I am not overly familar with the industry but in general women tend to be more detail oriented and organized. As far the kind of work the women are more interested in, office or onsite; I would like to throw out the ideas of a "class" on a safety program. What should be included in it, how to maintain it, and what records to keep. This is something that you could take to your insurance companies and look at getting price breaks with. For more onsite work women often face a whole different set of safety concerns specially younger women who maybe pregnant or looking to have children soon. (all the men cringed when they read that line) :) Those are a couple of my thoughts on the topic. I think it is a wonderful idea and one that could be spread to subsets. Roundtables could be more effective by better targeting your group... even if that means seperating into different "classes" at times to better focus on people just starting up or people who have been in a lot longer. Enough ranting from me for now. :)

behind a good man is normaly a good woman. I feel that alot of us can give thanks to the ladies in our life! With out there support we would not be able to do what we love to do the best.... PW and be buisness owners.

Ron, all the women I have had contact with concerning the PW biz are interested in one thing and one thing only, and that is how do I get the sales and big contracts for our biz. From a female point of view, what works. I don't think we'd be interested in support/office type of topics since that's not particularly contributing to the family pot. Do you see what I am saying? I know there are a few females on here (and maybe even not on the boards) that have had some great success with sales and I would love to pick their brains :)

How about you help us with a program women in Pressure washing 2011?
 
I think this line of thinking is a great idea. Beth & I tried to figure a way to get a support system in place for wives that do help the husbands with the business - then we got distracted with business :)
