Peninsula Chapter

The Peninsula Chapter is in Business For You...


 ABWA-Peninsula Chapter is part of a nationwide business networking organization that includes over 1,200 chapters. Peninsula Chapter draws most members from San Pedro, Palos Verdes, Torrance and the Harbor Area who wish to increase their business skills, improve community relations, and stay current with business practices. In addition to providing scholarships, ABWA supports the San Pedro Teen Summit.
  
We meet every 2nd Tuesday of the month, usually at the Ports O' Call Restaurant, and occasionally at the home of a member.  For information on our next meeting, check our on-line newsletter.  RSVP information will be shown there.
 
Our chapter offers leadership training, networking possibilities, support, and enduring friendships to business women in the South Bay. With diverse backgrounds and occupations, we provide opportunities for you to help yourself and others grow personally and professionally. 

Our functions are designed to strengthen friendships among members, raise funds for scholarships and provide opportunities for lots of networking.  See our list of upcoming speakers below.
