About EWI
EWI is an international organization with 3500 companies through 75 chapters in the U.S., Canada and Europe. Our Mission is to bring together key individuals from diverse businesses for the purposes of 1) Promoting member firms, 2) Enhancing personal and professional development, and 3) Encouraging community involvement. One of our guiding principles is to provide philanthropic service to our community.
Our Philanthropic Service commitment is achieved through offering educational scholarships to "women in transition." These women are often "heads of households" with a family to support, who have never had the opportunity to pursue a higher education. Since our chapter's inception we have provided educational scholarships to over 40 women in the Colorado Springs area.

EWI History
Executive Women International was established in San Francisco, 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. On April 29th of that year, articles of incorporation were filed with the State of California under the name of Executives' Secretaries, Inc.

In May 1939, the Los Angeles Business Community recognized the value of such an organization and that city's chapter was chartered. Since then, additional cities throughout the United States, Canada, Mexico and Europe have joined the organization, forming a prestigious and exclusive networking organization of key firms and individuals.

During the 30th Annual Meeting of the corporation (May 1977), the organization's name was changed to "Executive Women International" to reflect the diverse careers held by its representatives.

Colorado Springs EWI History
In January of 1983, representatives from the Denver EWI Chapter contacted Wanda Reaves, Vice President of Governmental and Internal Affairs with the Colorado Springs Chamber of Commerce, to consider establishing a chapter in Colorado Springs. An organizing committee was formed.

The Colorado Springs Chapter was chartered on September 21, 1983, at the Broadmoor Hotel, with Wanda Reaves being installed as the first president. The new chapter established a EWI chartering record with sixty (60) member firms. The formal event was attended by representatives from Dallas, Denver, Lexington, Los Angeles, Memphis, Nashville, Salt Lake City and San Francisco EWI chapters.

The Colorado Springs Chapter has been held in high regard by Executive Women International over the past 23 years as the chapter continues to be very active and has maintained a near capacity membership.
The EWI monthly programs are open to all members, their executive and guests.

Executive Women International is an organization which brings together key individuals from diverse businesses for the purpose of:
• Promoting member firms
• Enhancing personal and professional development, and
• Encouraging community Involvement
EWI Vision
To be the premier worldwide business women's organization
