History of EWI

Executive Women International® was established in California in 1938 when Lucille Johnson Perkins recognized the importance and potential of an association of key women working with their executives to promote their firms and improve their community.

The organization achieved its "international" status when the first Canadian chapter was chartered in Calgary, Alberta in August 1964. During the 30th Annual Meeting of the corporation (May 1977), the organization's name was changed to "Executive Women International®". This change reflected the international expansion of the organization and recognized the changing roles of women in business as well as the diverse careers held by its representatives.

Over 3500 companies and 4000 representatives are members of EWI® today in 85 chapters located in major cities in the United States, Canada and Europe. EWI® is the premier organization for networking and leadership development for today's professional businesswomen and their firms.
