The Professional Business women of Illinois was started back in 2004 as the McHenry Cook Professional Women's Group with one goal in mind:  to help women succeed in business. 

 

Throughout the years, we realized that it was not only essential to provide resources for professional growth, but it was equally important to provide resources for women to grow personally.

 

By offering development workshops, training classes and other educational opportunities, we provide our members with multiple resources to expand their wealth of knowledge, making them well-rounded professional business women. 

 

We also feel strongly about supporting the community in which we do business and are very active in doing so.  Community involvement has become a pillar of our organization and is a true testament of the quality of our membership.

 

Network with other likeminded women while making valuable business connections.  This can lead to important partnerships and great friendships.

 

No matter where you are along your professional journey, you are welcomed and encouraged to become a PBWI member.  Whether you would like to mentor or be mentored, PBWI is a platform for you to grow.  Learn today - lead tomorrow.

 

It's truly a rewarding experience.
