NAPW to Launch eChapter

GARDEN CITY, N.Y., Sept. 2, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- The National Association of Professional Women (NAPW)—the nation's largest networking organization for professional women—will officially launch its eChapter at noon EST on Wednesday, September 9. The virtual gathering place will allow NAPW's 775,000+ members to exchange ideas, share strategies for success and encourage personal and professional growth.

"We are absolutely thrilled to offer this innovative networking forum to our members," said NAPW President Star Jones. "Today's women lead such active, busy lives, so the opportunity for them to network on-the-go with thousands of inspiring, accomplished women from all over the world is an unmatched convenience."

The eChapter is an extension of the more than 200 Local Chapters that comprise the NAPW network. Members can join a physical Chapter and the eChapter, or participate via the eChapter only if there is no physical Chapter in their vicinity. The eChapter meets bi-weekly as an interactive webinar that includes a featured speaker, live chat, member spotlights, a Q&A session and in-session polls. Members can access the meeting from their desktop, laptop, tablet and other mobile devices. Each meeting is archived for future viewing by members who could not attend the live session.

"Our eChapter is a great addition for our members," said Louise Newsome, National Director of Local Chapters at NAPW. "Our recent soft launch was well-received with members attending from Miami to Maine, San Diego to Seattle, and everywhere in between – as well as Hawaii."
"With nearly 2,000 members, our eChapter is our fastest growing chapter ever and will quickly   become our largest Chapter.  With 78 million women in the workforce, the room for growing our network is unlimited," added Jones.
