Women-owned companies and women executives in Washtenaw County need an organization that is driven by and responsive to their unique needs. They need an organization that helps them get started, grow, evolve and become long-term, viable, vibrant businesses. They need an organization that helps them navigate the business world by providing resources, education, events and opportunities for networking, connections and collaborations.
The Women’s Exchange of Washtenaw seeks to fill the needs of women-owned firms and women executives, so those women can do what they do best: create ideas, jobs, business partnerships, booming companies and make vital contributions to the strength of the Ann Arbor region.
WXW Mission
The mission of the Women's Exchange of Washtenaw is to organize, encourage, support, educate and strengthen the businesswomen in our region by providing a venue for business connections, skill-building, professional support and growth.
WXW Vision
In 5 years, the WXW will be the premier organization for women in business in Washtenaw Country. Because the women of the WXW are a connected, collaborative, supportive and unified group, they build strong companies, attract national and global business and bolster our local and regional economy.
WXW Goals
- Provide a venue for networking, referrals and relationship building
- Conduct interactive, participatory events where meeting content is driven and created by the participants rather than fully planned by a group of organizers in advance
- Connect, support and assist women business owners, entrepreneurs and decision makers in establishing and achieving their business goals
- Lead advocacy efforts to support the best interest of women business owners, entrepreneurs and decision makers
