YEAR FOUNDED: 1989

WHO WE ARE: PWS has approximately 40 members. PWS members include but are not limited to entrepre-neurs, accountants, insurance agents, attorneys, education professionals, sales and marketing professionals, small business owners, and real estate agents.

OUR MISSION: To promote a spirit of cooperation and understanding among members; to provide a strong network of professional contacts; to contribute to the mutual education and encouragement of members; and to achieve recognition of the contribution of women to the community.

NETWORKING OPPORTUNITIES: PWS members network at monthly programmed meetings over lunch, pro-fessional development workshops, and community events.

MEMBER SPOTLIGHTS: Each lunch meeting begins with a Member Spotlight, an opportunity for a member to speak about her business or company for 3 minutes. Members sign up in advance to speak at a particu-lar meeting, which gives each member the option to choose the monthly meeting that works best for her business. We feature one member per month. Most lunch meetings also feature a guest speaker (often one of our own members) who provides professional development and community education opportunities.

SCHOLARSHIP: Each year, PWS awards $2,500 in scholarships to two deserving young women seeking to further their education at Ogeechee Technical College, East Georgia College and/or Georgia Southern Uni-versity.

DUES: Annual dues are $225. Dues may be paid quarterly. If paid in one lump sum before January 30, mem-bers receive a $25 discount.

OUR MEETINGS: PWS meets for lunch between 12:00pm - 1:00pm on the third Wednesday of every month except June and July at the Holiday Inn. Members are encouraged to bring guests who could potentially be interested in becoming a member. After a guest has attended a meeting, we will invite them to apply to become a member.
