Women's Networking in HF Industry

Gender diversity seems to be pretty low in the HF business and there doesn't seem to be a HF/public equities focused women's networking group (closest is Synergist Network geared towards PE). Any women in the industry on here want to start an informal peer network? 

Personally, I'm in L/S equity, NYC based with a couple years of buyside experience. Comment/PM me if you're interested!
