PBWC is proud to announce its new Board President effective July 1, 2006: Patricia Williams

Welcome! Thanks for visiting the Professional BusinessWomen of California website.

The Professional BusinessWomen of California is an organization whose mission is to meet the leadership, skill development, and network needs of professional businesswomen throughout their careers. During our extraordinary 18 years, we have reached more than 70,000 women at one or more of our events. Our presence in San Francisco, San Jose, and Sacramento has evolved, as we know your needs have over the years we have been in existence. We are committed to providing relevant, stimulating input to whatever opportunities you enjoy within your professional life.

As women in business, we know that our success depends on our ability to learn, to recreate ourselves, and to influence our workplaces in ways that contribute to our success. I believe we all have a vision of what we can contribute to our companies as professionals. Our organization brings together experts in many areas, including thought leaders, entrepreneurs, financial experts, and people who can help with the life skills we need to thrive.

We look forward to your participation, and I hope you'll let us know how we can continue to lead the way in providing what you need to realize your personal best.
