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 their first meeting at no charge. Please see "meetings" page for more information.

Doctor, leader, mentor, mother, wife, philanthropist, volunteer are just some of the titles bestowed on the Professional Women’s Network ‘Woman of the Year’, Dr. Jeanette Kern of Monterey.

While Dr. Kern may be best known for creating some of the peninsula’s best- looking and most celebrated smiles, she gives to the community in many ways. Dr. Kern holds the chair position on the Professional Women’s Network Showcase and board secretary position for the Monterey Rape Crisis Center; she also sits on the board for and actively supports Dance Kids of Monterey. Dr. Kern created a scholarship for university-bound high school women who are interested in science, and is actively involved with Go Red for Women, and Make-A-Wish.
