Dear Visitor,

Thank you for taking the time to learn about the Professional Women's Network. We hope you decide to join our organization and begin enjoying the benefits of membership right away.

PWN is the Monterey Peninsula's largest organization of professional women. PWN was founded in 1983 when five women joined together to establish a network for women in business. Today, PWN is a dynamic organization of approximately 200+ women representing a wide spectrum of professions. Our membership is comprised of entrepreneurs, professionals, employees, and retirees. Our members look first within the network for products or services they need, and actively promote the businesses of fellow members.

PWN Meetings

General membership meetings are held the first Wednesday of the month at 5:45 pm. Guests are welcome to attend at no charge. Please see "meetings" page for more information.
