The Women Presidents’ Organization, an international peer advisory group for million dollar plus women-led companies, will launch a new chapter in Atlanta on March 19 at PNC Bank in midtown.
The WPO is considered an important affiliation for successful women entrepreneurs (presidents, CEOs, managing directors) of privately held multimillion-dollar companies. The WPO’s mission is to accelerate business growth, enhance competitiveness, and promote economic security through confidential and collaborative peer-learning groups.
“PNC’s longtime support of WPO as corporate sponsor is a reflection of our desire to serve as a financial partner for women, whether they’re building businesses, building wealth or just trying to build a better future for themselves and their families,” said Laura May, vice president and senior client advisor with PNC Wealth Management in Atlanta. “We salute WPO for continuing to expand its membership and for choosing Atlanta for its latest chapter to directly advocate for female leadership at the highest levels.”
Local WPO chapters are coordinated by a professional facilitator and meet monthly to share business expertise and experience in a confidential setting. Members in non-competitive businesses tap into the collective wisdom of their peers to advance their business success.
“Women-owned and women-led businesses represent a growing sector of the Atlanta and the global economy,” said Atlanta Chapter Chair Denise Smith and senior director for Cox Automotive. “This new chapter of the WPO will help a group of fast growing Atlanta women entrepreneurs build their businesses in an ever-changing global economic context.”
More than 2,000 accomplished women entrepreneurs at the multimillion-dollar level who aim to increase their business success are members of the WPO internationally. These women earn $2 million in gross annual sales for a product-based business or $1 million for a service-based business, ownership interest in the business at some level, and senior management responsibilities for attorneys and accountants.
The Atlanta Chapter III of the WPO is currently recruiting for membership.
