The Women Presidents’ Organization (WPO) is the ultimate affiliation for successful women entrepreneurs (presidents, CEOs, managing directors) of privately held multimillion-dollar companies. The WPO’s mission is to accelerate business growth, enhance competitiveness, and promote economic security through confidential and collaborative peer-learning groups. In chapters composed of approximately 20 accomplished women entrepreneurs, WPO members address business concerns in a roundtable format and function as an informal board of directors for their businesses. There are currently 137 chapters in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Peru, the United Kingdom, Sweden, Portugal, Turkey, Israel, the Middle East and North Africa, South Africa, Australia, and New Zealand. The chapters are moderated by professionally trained facilitators, all of whom own their own businesses. Each chapter serves as a peer advisory group based on the four Cs of the WPO: Collaboration, Confidentiality, Commitment, and Connections. WPO members address financial concerns, organizational development, hiring and firing, and other issues defined by chapter members. The WPO is a nonprofit IRC Sec. 501 (c)(6) organization.
