Organization of Women Executives serves as an organization that advances the business and professional status of its members. Our monthly luncheons encourage women to network with other women in business in an effort to promote better business relations in all segments of the business community. We also provide workshops and information of skills women need in order to be strong and successful business women.

Support & Build a Network of Like-Minded Women
O.W.E. provides opportunities for members to make business contacts, lay ground for business transactions in a relaxed and informal environment, and explore best practices that can be applied to their business. During our monthly luncheons or after hour mixers, members can use our platform to network and empower other women. Online Member Directory Each member will be added to our Online Member Directory. Members and guests can access your contact information and be directed to your website. This is designed so everyone can share this directory and increase visits to your website and business.
