An increasingly complex market environment demands that today's business leadership teams demonstrate higher-than-ever levels of discipline, savvy and organizational skills. The members of Executive Women International play key roles in enabling their companies to meet those challenges, thanks in large part to the tremendous resources available to them through EWI.

EWI has afforded Moreson several opportunities - from the standpoint of exposure, networking and business acquisition. In particular, we have had the opportunity for exposure to a group of people that we historically have not had access to and through that we are turning it into market share on our end. In addition, EWI's global mindset has enabled Moreson to move forward on our own global expansion efforts in many ways. I strongly endorse the tenets of EWI's mission statement.

North Island Credit Union joined the San Diego Chapter of EWI in 1996. I had worked with our representative for 14 years and was amazed at the way she stepped in and became a part of the EWI organization. Before EWI, she was one of those people standing at the edge of the meeting, listening but never joining in. Now she is right in the middle of everything, running meetings and showing leadership skill no one knew she had.

By attending the Executive Women International Academy of Leadership sessions, I have been able to build and maintain highperforming teams. I have learned how to improve and expand my communication skills, and to use and develop the power of leadership networks … all skills that can serve me either at Ernst & Young or within the EWI organization. Membership in EWI and participating in this type of professional development is one of the most rewarding decisions a company can make.

When I first joined EWI I had no idea of the connections that could be made. Through those connections with businesses around the globe and the numerous networking and development opportunities, my firm and I have both realized value well beyond initial expectations.

Along with excellent programs for leadership development and professional education, EWI offers a synergistic environment in which we are encouraged to cultivate new skills, to help one another broaden our capabilities, and to work positively through our mistakes. The encouragement and experience that EWI provides allowed me to face my self-imposed limitations and fears, and to gain confidence in new abilities. I firmly believe that, because of my involvement in EWI, I grew to be qualified for a position with greater visibility and responsibility. While true participation requires effort, the rewards are exponential.
