WEW events are all about connection and community, and we love sharing those moments. By attending a Women Empowering Women (WEW) meeting or event, you give permission for WEW and its organizers, leaders, and partners to capture and use photos, videos, or recordings that may include your image, voice, or likeness. These may be used – without compensation – for promotional, educational, or informational purposes across WEW print and digital channels.

All chapter meetings are FREE for anyone to attend. YES! You read that right.

(We just ask that if a chapter meeting is at a restaurant location, that you purchase a meal to support the location that is so graciously hosting our event. Don’t forget to tip your server a little extra as most restaurants are struggling with staffing issues and we want to make sure they know how much we appreciate them!)

Enjoy a proven, structured system that embraces the building of relationships which in turn will grow your business efficiencies, sales, exposure, and business processes.

Come meet and learn from panelists, experts, and local women in your WEW chapter. You will also find allies who want to help with your success and are ready to share their resources and expertise to help you take that next step in your personal and professional life.
