Founded in 2013 by two businesswomen, Women Empowering Women (WEW)’s purpose is to bring like-minded people together to encourage and support one another. Taking networking to a new level, enabling women to build quality connections and empowering them to achieve their desired goals and personal / professional growth.
We strive to utilize the diversity of our membership and chapters to enable our members to benefit from the different insight they can gain from each other. The environment is open to both males and females to support women from college age and beyond into retirement age.
Collaborating on a joint purpose of empowering women and each other, our chapters and meetings can accommodate members within the same industry. Simply put, our primary focus for Women Empowering Women is collaboration NOT competition!
“A woman is the full circle. Within her is the power to create, nurture and transform.” — Diane Mariechild
As we celebrate our 10th anniversary, we recognize that the current climate for women has added new challenges. WEW is ready to overcome those challenges by:
- Foster an environment encouraging our members to support each other and provide authentic and knowledgeable referrals and leads.
- Curate spaces where women can openly discuss struggles and successes while also collaborating with and mentoring one another.
- Expanding our efforts across the country, building chapters that can function independently but at the same time able to benefit from the value of a larger network.
- Create a global network that will allow us to grow to our fullest potential no matter where we are.
- Collaborating to find ways to work together and empower each other.
- Provide leadership tools and resources to develop our members professionally and personally.
- Being a liaison for business and volunteer opportunities.
- Tailoring memberships to meet the needs of our members by providing a platform for national and international reach.
