Do You Have A $1 Million Business? WPO Might Be For You
Though there are many groups for women, few actively support women who reach a higher level of business growth. The Women Presidents' Organization is an opportunity for top women business owners whose firms are at the same level to meet and together drive business breakthroughs.
The key factor for the chapter members is the peer-to-peer learning they are exposed to. WPO provides a forum for women CEOs and presidents who often feel isolated and would like to talk to peers about issues that arise from owning a business, including personal and emotional issues that might be avoided in a less intimate setting.
