| Welcome
to the official website for the EWI Roanoke Chapter.
Our mission is to bring together key individuals from diverse
businesses for the purpose of:
- Promoting
member firms
- Enhancing
personal and professional development
- Encouraging
community involvement
Executive
Women International® addresses the business professional's
quest for personal achievement and drive for professional development.
EWI is unique among the myriad women's associations in that the
company, not the individual, holds the membership.
EWI®
offers many benefits to both the representative and the company.
From Amsterdam to Atlanta, women who participate in EWI have access
to a variety of events and programs, and their companies benefit
through the professional connections and the recognition as business
leaders in their communities.
History
Executive
Women International® was established in California in 1938
when Lucille Johnson Perkins recognized the importance and potential
of an association of key women working with their executives to
promote their firms and improve their community.
The
organization achieved its "international" status when
the first Canadian chapter was chartered in Calgary, Alberta in
August 1964. During the 30th Annual Meeting of the corporation
(May 1977), the organization's name was changed to "Executive
Women International". This change reflects the international
expansion of the organization and recognizes the changing roles
of women in business and the diverse careers held by its representatives.
Over
3500 companies and 4000 representatives are members of EWI today
in 85 chapters located in major cities in the United States, Canada,
and Europe. EWI is the premier organization for networking and
leadership development for today's professional businesswomen
and their firms.
