Sister Societies (AL, FL, and GA)

The local/state presence of the GWLN are vibrant and empowering women's leadership groups dedicated to fostering a supportive community for women in our respective states. These Sister Societies are part of the Global Women's Leadership Network (GWLN), an organization committed to advancing women’s opportunities and creating positive change.

Within each Sister Society, members engage in various activities and initiatives aimed at promoting professional development, networking, and mentorship opportunities for women. The groups provide a platform for women to share experiences and exchange ideas that contribute to personal and collective growth.

Join our supportive and empowering environment for women seeking to enhance their leadership skills, expand their networks, and contribute to the advancement of women.
