Network is considered a local league as determined by the National
Board of Directors of the American Business Women’s Association
Chapter:
Chapters help members improve business efficiency, their earning
power, promote good relationships among employees and employers,
and assist non-working members in securing employment. Each
chapter embraces the mission of the Association by helping
women better themselves through professional development.
An Executive Board has supervisory oversight for the chapter.
Officers include: President, Vice President, Treasurer, and

participate in the business meeting of the chapter.

ensure smooth running of the chapter. Members may participate
as officers, committee chairmen, or committee members to obtain

leadership, and teamwork.
