Women Executives (WE) is a diverse group of accomplished women who support and nurture each other's personal and professional growth.

WE provides a forum for professional interactions, sponsors programs for professional growth, and encourages its members to develop their leadership potential and serve the community.  The goal of WE is to be an organization that is representative of leaders in the business, professional, educational and non-profit community of Charlotte.  Membership in WE is by invitation only through a sponsored application process.

A Message from our President:
Feel the Power. Strong connections. High-energy events. Significant service.

 
WE is back! Covid impacted our lives causing many changes, numerous starts and stops requiring us to navigate new ways to connect and we have found our new normal. While many of us continue to work hybrid schedules, we enthusiastically enjoy the opportunity to come together to engage with one another. I am excited about the WE year ahead. WE will celebrate our 47th anniversary this year and we have a strong membership of 291 members. Together, we can accomplish anything.
