PWR EXPANDING NETWORK IN INLAND EMPIRE AREA

Riverside, CA. The Professional Women's Roundtable (PWR) a 501 C 3 Women's organization in the Riverside, CA area is expanding their network and will be establishing PWR Breakfast and Lunch groups. PWR is an affiliate network of The National Association for Female Executives, (NAFE) the largest business women's organization in the U.S. with over 125,00 women members. PWR currently has 117 members.

This expansion will enable PWR to reach out to all NAFE members in the areas that are not as yet affiliated with a local network as well as other professional women who are interested in belonging to a network that allows them great networking opportunities as well as the opportunity to grow both personally and professionally.

"Many women cannot make our main group monthly Wednesday night meetings yet want to belong to our group, so we are looking at this expansion with day meetings as a way to accomodate these women" says Robbie Motter PWR Founder and current Director. We are all about making a difference in the lives of women, so whatever we can do to assist them is what we do. PWR is the success that it is because of its dedicated membership base and dynamic volunteer board who give so much of their time to make PWR the best women's network in the Riverside & San Bernardino County areas of California.

Our plan is to setup four additional southern California networks which are as follows:
Temecula, Murrieta and surrounding areas which include Canyon Lake, Lake Elsinore, Perris, Hemet and Sun City, serving as the Director of this network will be Jeanene Williams of the Edward Jones Investments in Murrieta, CA, and assisting her will be Michele Broad PWR Co-Director and owner of "A Women's Focus in Hemet.

All four of these groups will be holding individual organizational meetings in their respective areas in mid-January 2001, so interested individuals should make contact with the Director in the area of interest so that they can receive an invitation to the organizational meeting. At the individual organizational meetings the date and location for the monthly meetings of those respective areas will be established based on the interest of the majority of the attendee's.

As a member of PWR & NAFE members will have the opportunity to also attend any of the PWR meetings at any of the locations which will give them an even greater opportunity to expand their networking into other areas, they will also be invited to attend the PWR Conference March 3, 2001 called "Building Bidges to Business Success" that will be held at Cal State San Bernardino in San Bernardino, CA.

PWR works with the various Gain program offies in the San Bernardino and Riverside County areas to distribute the clothes, it is just another way that they (PWR) like to make a difference in the lives of women.
