The Filipina Women's Network (FWN) is a non-profit association for women of Philippine ancestry.

FWN provides educational resources through publications, lectures, activities, and programs to further the professional and personal development of its members.

FWN enhances public perceptions of Filipina women's capacities to lead, changes biases against Filipina women's leadership abilities and promotes the entry of Filipina women into positions of leadership in corporate, government, and nonprofit sectors.

FWN achieves these goals through public education forums to heighten Filipina women's visibility, research on Filipina women's issues, leadership and skill building/career development programs for Filipina women, and influencing popular culture.

FWN members are Filipina women from corporations, government and nonprofit sectors including organizations who support FWN's mission.

WHY FWN MEETINGS ARE DIFFERENT: FWN provides Filipina women with opportunities to share practical career and business experiences. This focus on actual career and business experiences, rather than theory, from practitioners, corporate managers and leaders, along with peer networking, are the distinguishing features of FWN meetings.
