Photo Slideshow: Working Women Of Tampa Bay

Working Women of Tampa Bay celebrates its second anniversary June 25th with a birthday bash in Dunedin.

The networking group is just one of dozens emerging in the Tampa Bay region as people seek to increase connections with others -- women and men -- who share similar professional as well as personal goals.

Today, 83 Degrees launches a new Focus Area called Connections to report on some of those groups, their leaders, their activities and their followers -- all in search of making connections at work and at play.

Why? Connections aims to help create the ties that bind talented people with shared experiences to build strong communities and better define the sense of place that we all love about the Tampa Bay region.

Here is a photo slideshow by 83 Degrees Managing Photographer Julie Busch Branaman about Working Women of Tampa Bay's Mother's Day Expo in May featuring wine tasting, shopping, glamour sessions, mommy and me photos, belly dancing, storytelling for kids and a supervised kid zone.
