At that time, other chapters existed in Southwest Florida. However, none were convenient to the business women of the area between Fort Myers and Naples. ABWA Imperial River Chapter supports the national organization’s mission: to bring together business women of diverse occupations and to provide opportunities for them to help themselves and others grow personally and professionally through leadership, education, networking support and national recognition. Our chapter raises funds to help reimburse our membership, comprised of local business women, for conferences, seminars, continuing education credits and other professional development pursuits. Registration/check-in and networking starts at 6:00 PM, followed by dinner and speaker/activity. Meetings happen at the Villages of Country Creek off of Corkscrew Road in Estero. Tickets are $30 at Eventbrite, which includes dinner.

ABOUT THE IMPERIAL RIVER CHAPTER Southwest Florida is home to several ABWA chapters that meet from Punta Gorda to Naples, but none of the existing meetings are convenient to the busy working women of Estero and Bonita Springs. A team comprised of members from chapters in Fort Myers, Cape Coral, and Sanibel-Captiva decided to create a new formation to serve this growing area of Lee County.
