PINK's Favorite Women's Biz Orgs
Because we can achieve so much more together.
One reason PINK has caught on so quickly and so well is the support of women's organizations, who've distributed the magazine at their events, told their friends and provided us with information to keep you in the know.
Here are a few of our favorites, whom we cannot thank enough:

That's the same purchasing power as Great Britain! Sixty-four percent of female corporate leaders have children and 44 percent of the more than 10 million women businessowners have children under the age of 18. Today's mom drives our business economy, and Moms In Business Network is the association that represents her.

Women's Chamber of Commerce
Representing the economic development interests of more than 23 million small business owners and 450,000 members across the country, the U.S. Women's Chamber of Commerce works to open the doors to economic and leadership opportunities.
For decades women have sought increased access to money, opportunity and influence. And yet, as corporations and politicians have targeted women for sales and votes - we have been more "influenced" than "influential". To take that last great step which transforms women from "influenced" to "influential" – the USWCC is implementing important strategic shifts, focusing on targeted issues, providing education and access, and creating strong connections and advocacy.
Headquartered in Washington, D.C., USWCC brings the power and influence of the U.S. Women's Chamber of Commerce to the seat of our nation's political power.
