At WEW, our deep belief in the immense potential of women-owned businesses fuels our mission to provide you with the loving care and support needed to soar to new heights. We’ve partnered with the Women Presidents Organization (WPO) and adopted their proven “airport model” to create an environment that nurtures growth and collaboration. As one member of the WEW CREW reaches the coveted $1 million milestone, we warmly welcome another, creating a dynamic and thriving community of women entrepreneurs.

When you become a part of WEW, you gain access to a caring network that offers valuable information, insights, and opportunities to guide your business towards that million-dollar mark and beyond. Additionally, you’ll receive a heartfelt invitation to the prestigious annual WPO Entrepreneurial Excellence Forum. We take immense pride in creating the WOW FACTOR, where Women OF WEW truly WIN, all while surrounded by the care and encouragement of your fellow members!
