Launched in 2009 by The Main Line Chamber of Commerce, SPW was founded to create a forum for women of all generations, industries and management levels to connect with one another, build leadership skills and support the region’s non-profits. SPW’s membership has grown to more than 4,000 and has been regularly ranked as the largest women’s networking organization in the region by Philadelphia Business Journal.

Central to SPW’s mission is giving back to non-profits. Each SPW event features a non-profit organization and to date, SPW along with its attendees, have donated over $80,000 and much-needed items to these critical organizations serving our community. Each featured non-profit has an opportunity to share their mission with attendees and Comcast Business generously makes a donation to assist them in carrying out their mission.”
