Our Beginnings
Updated: Feb 12, 2021
The Professional Women’s Business Exchange (PWBE) started in Walnut Creek in the mid 1990s as an option for women-only business networking.
PWBE split into two groups in 2010 and the Walnut Creek chapter became the Professional Women’s Referral Group (PWRG) the following year.
Responding to an increasing level of interest from professional women, PWRG began adding more chapters in 2015 under the leadership of Advisory Board President CC Kelly.
To date, six more chapters have formed: Pleasant Hill, Danville, Concord, Lamorinda, Oakland/Berkeley, and San Ramon.
