The Filipina Leadership Global Summit brings together the top and most influential Filipina women business owners and professionals to create a networking pipeline thru reciprocal relationships.

The summit is FWN's signature fundraiser with proceeds funding FWN’s programs that foster Filipina women’s socio-economic, and educational advancement in addition to raising awareness of FWN’s pipeline development of qualified next-generation leaders to increase the odds that some will rise to the “president” position.
