Since its conception, the Dynamic Professional Women’s Network has positioned itself to be a very functional platform for women to develop the valuable connections necessary to grow in our professional as well as personal lives.

Inspired by the need to connect and partner with other professional women, but unable to commit to other early morning groups, DPWN was created to better meet the needs of working women and offer meeting times that also fit into a working mothers schedule. The objectives of the DPWN are simple, yet powerful. We focus on building great relationships, learning new business practices, sharing other networking opportunities, exchanging marketing ideas, and of course generating business for each other through referrals. We also have bi-monthly Power Networking Events designed to inspire, educate, and motivate. At these events, the members of all of our chapters along with their guests, come together to further enhance their networking opportunities on a larger scale. In addition, we have other events and special discounts available only to members.

We currently have 11 chapters regularly meeting in the DuPage, Kane and Cook County areas. These meetings are intended to be structured enough to be extremely productive, yet still allow for time to chat with your friends and acquaintances during our open networking time.

"We all prefer to do business with someone we know or with someone that person knows.
So, if developing relationships with professional women who understand the power of a strong referral network would help you, join us in helping us grow our network."

“As a small business owner it is critical to develop relationships with other business people in your area. Being a part of the DuPage Professional Women's Network has given me an opportunity to develop both business and personal relationships with the women of our chapter. The lead referrals and opportunity to network with other chapter members has also been a real benefit. I would encourage other professional business women to attend one of the chapter meetings to see for themselves how this group can help them.”

"I have been a member of the DuPage Women’s Networking Group since June of 2006. This has been a valuable connection for me and my company. I have personally used 9 of our members and many of my friends and family have used them. I have received valuable leads from this group. Some have resulted in immediate jobs and others have lead to contacts for future jobs. We have a fabulous group of ladies who are all about networking and giving and not only promoting their own businesses but also every member of the group."
