Overview

In 2016 in the back of an Uber in NYC I was thinking out loud to friend. I am fortunate to have several successful women in my life who have supported me through the illness and subsequent death of my father. All these women were important to me, but none of them knew each other. I knew introducing them to each other would be beneficial for all their businesses (once a recruiter always a recruiter) – that morphed into a networking event. BUT – I wanted to network with a greater purpose. I wanted to create a new, unique way for successful women to network while giving back, and the Alliance of Women Executives (AWE) was formed. The mission of the Alliance of Women Executives (AWE) is to bring like-minded women together to share business experience and knowledge as well as promote higher education for the next generation of women through academic scholarships. AWE is the realization of a vision to connect women in a meaningful way while making an impact on future generations. We do this by offering $1500 scholarships to young women who continue their education locally. The members of the Alliance of Women Executives (AWE) meet monthly to network and quarterly for Dinner With Friends (DWF). DWF is a time for members to get to know one another on a more personal level & explore common interests while turning professional acquaintances into friendships. The relationships formed combined with our philanthropic vision are what makes AWE & our scholarship program succeed. The Alliance of Women Executives scholarships are designed to support young women who live in and choose to or need to stay in Palm Beach County to attend college. As executive women who live in the Palm Beaches, we believe it is our duty to support the next generation of women. Through higher education students learn skills that stay with them throughout their lives, thus enabling them to soar. We are proud to assist these young women as they invest in their future through education.
