Who is PWN?

PWN is a fun, interactive professional networking group of enthusiastic women and a few men supporting & honoring each other for their personal fulfillment and business success.

Men, if your business primarily serves women then we want to support you. We exist to create an environment of empowerment in which we all come together in a spirit of collaboration providing opportunities to build lasting relationships, professional development, and business connections.

What Is PWN?

We are a National Professional Women's Organization based on the Monterey Peninsula since 1983. Members locally and nationally have networking opportunities online and in person throughout Monterey & Santa Cruz County. PWN is the legacy organization for professional women (and a few outstanding businessmen) in Monterey County.

Our membership is a diverse group, comprised of entrepreneurs, professionals, and employees.

Professional Women’s Network has been uplifting and supporting women and a few men both in personal fulfillment and business success, since the network’s inception in 1983. PWN has awarded thousands of dollars in scholarships to help women in business and the non-profit organizations they support.

Every year PWN honors one special woman whose life and work has impacted the members of our network and community. The “Woman of the Year Award” is proudly presented during our Annual Holiday Gala which is our annual fundraising event.

The Gina Peterson-Estrada Women Helping Women Fund

Nestled within the heart of our community, the Women Helping Women (WHW) Fund, hosted by the Professional Women's Network of the Monterey Peninsula (PWNMC), is a beautiful expression of neighbors helping neighbors. It’s a promise that no woman in our community has to face a crisis alone.

The WHW Fund is sustained entirely by donations from the PWNMC membership and the broader community. This is a targeted, efficient emergency assistance program that empowers local service providers to quickly resolve critical financial crises for women and families in Monterey County.
