What we do
FWN provides Filipina women with opportunities to share practical career and business experiences. This focus on actual career and business experiences, rather than theory, from practitioners, corporate managers and leaders, along with peer networking, are the distinguishing features of FWN meetings.
Our Mission - advance Filipina women in the U.S. workplace
FWN strives to:
- enhance public perceptions of Filipina women's capacities to lead,
- change biases against Filipina women's leadership abilities and
- build the Filipina American community's pipeline of qualified leaders, to increase the odds that some will rise to the president position in all sectors.
FWN achieves these goals through public education forums to heighten Filipina women's visibility, surveys on Filipina women's issues, leadership and career development programs for Filipina women, and influencing popular culture.
