The Switchboards
The Switchboards began when a group of indie business women decided that there needed to be a place on the web where they could talk "shop"...creative shop, that is! Eventually their idea grew to encompass a forum in which to meet and share information with others, an Articles section that would provide helpful tips from seasoned business women, a Links page to other crafty shops and a Gallery to show off indie wares. The Switchboards is a non-profit organization founded in March 2004 to support and publicize creative women in business through the use of an online community forum, product displays, mutual links and joint advertising.
