Welcome to the new PBWC web site.

We as women are always striving to reach the next level, whether that is advancing in a corporate environment, succeeding as entrepreneurs, contributing to our families or giving back to our communities. Professional BusinessWomen of California (PBWC) offers a unique opportunity to network, share experiences and learn from many industry leaders about how to optimize your potential for professional advancement.

Our website, conferences, special events, networking opportunities, magazine and other educational tools afford you the opportunity to experience first hand the success stories, advice and wisdom from our diverse community of experts and your peers. With new interactive resources from PBWC, we’re fostering ways for you to access and exchange valuable solutions throughout the year, including executive leadership sessions focusing on topics such as corporate politics, changing business trends, management techniques, and workforce diversity.

We at PBWC are also dedicated to helping you explore work/life balance, discussing new ways to overcome the challenges that are often neglected but remain critical for executive and entrepreneurial women. We invite you to bookmark this website (and visit often!) to learn about new tools from PBWC, including invitations to new types of workshops and intimate interactive sessions on women's health, time management, workplace challenges, breaking the glass ceiling, networking for success, mentorship opportunities, and many other topics we discuss on a regular basis.

As the CEO of this dynamic organization, I look forward to meeting you and discussing new ways to capitalize on opportunities in your careers and personal lives, and helping you to expand your network with other inspirational professional women. There are plenty of opportunities for you to get more involved on a PBWC committee, be a mentor to women just starting out in their careers, or help us grow the organization to reach its full potential. I also want to thank our many corporate sponsors who have continuously supported us to make all these programs possible. We are all in this together!
