The launch celebration took place on October 27th with some 80 attendees from diverse companies: Sanofi-Aventis, Orange, Danone, Deloitte, AIB, HSBC, Warsaw University, LOT, Orlen, Siemens Nixdorf, WTC Warsaw, and others. As part of the kickoff, there was a panel discussion Women at the Top – Politics or Necessity? A number of women registered for membership that same night. There is every reason to believe that the network will continue to grow in this part of Europe, making our voices heard in an ever-widening circle.
European Federation President Marijo Bos shares that view:
Thanks to the efforts of our partner, Orange, we celebrate our 20th network with the launch of a new chapter in Warsaw. Connecting the EuropeanPWN Federation with Poland and this area of Europe is a real milestone and I feel confident that this is only the beginning.
The new chapter will become a hub for professional women who can benefit from exchanges of every kind, face to face and via the platform, from talking business to sharing best practices and getting practical. Welcome Warsaw!
