FWN Chapter Development

Chapters have critical roles in their direct contact with members, customer service, recruitment-retention, delivery of benefits and networking forums. The FWN Chapter Affiliation Agreement is used to spell out the relationship between the chapter and the FWN, the parent organization. The issues such as structure, taxes, reporting, logo and name usage, insurance, risk, services, expectations, etc., are outlined in the agreement.

ABOUT FWN

The Filipina Women's Network (FWN) is a San Francisco based non-profit international advocacy organization that seeks to increase the power of Filipina women as leaders and policy makers at all levels in corporate, government, institutions and community organizations to achieve economic and social justice and women’s rights.

FWN provides the content, credibility and a worldwide network of Filipina women professionals to support the success of Filipina women in their businesses and careers.

FWN convenes programs and activities that enhance public perceptions of Filipina women's capacities to lead and to build the Filipina community's pipeline of qualified leaders, to increase the odds that some Filipina women will rise to the president position in the private and public sectors worldwide.

FWN provides Filipina women with opportunities to share practical career and business experiences. This focus on actual career and business experiences, rather than theory, from practitioners, corporate managers, entrepreneurs, elected / appointed officials, nonprofit and community leaders, along with peer networking, are the distinguishing features of FWN meetings.

FWN VISION

Be the #1 resource for leadership, personal and professional development for Filipina women worldwide.
