What is EWI?
EWI is the premier organization for networking and leadership development
for today's business professionals and their firms. There are currently
over 2,500 member firms and 2,800 representatives in major cities
throughout the United States and Canada.
How
long has EWI been in existence?
The organization was established in California in 1938 as Executive's
Secretaries, Inc., when Lucille Johnson Perkins recognized the importance
and potential of an association of key women working with their executives
to promote their firms and improve their community. Thirty years later,
the name was changed to Executive Women International. The name change
reflected the international expansion of the organization and the
changing roles of women in business.
Is EWI exclusive to women?
No. There are a growing number of men in the organization, nation-wide.
In its 70th year, EWI continues to evolve to meet the needs of its
membership. In fact, this is why the organization is referred to as
EWI today, rather than Executive Women International.

development?

What is the primary philanthropic cause that
EWI supports?

the year.
When and where does EWI of Huntsville hold
its meetings?

network between 5:30 and 6:00 p.m., and then have dinner and a program
beginning at 6:00 p.m. Dinner meeting costs are $25 per month. Meetings

What are the attendance requirements for
membership?
Each representative should attend a minimum of six (6) meetings during
the year. Each member firm should be represented by a representative
or an executive at seven (7) meetings during the year.
