The Professional Women’s Association (PWA) is the only group of its kind which provides women in Rome with their very own Forum for exchanging more than ideas -- shaping their businesses, sharing contacts while forging friendships, and offering ways to support each other's careers and ambitions -- in short, improving themselves, their work and their Roman experience.

Since 1992, PWA has been the place for women to network for personal and professional opportunities. Our 60+ members from nearly 20 countries hail from all different professions and levels of business management, including education, marketing, linguistics, law, new media, medicine, travel, journalism, finance, gastronomy, small businesses, government bodies and the arts. We are multilingual, multicultural with most having lived/worked in more than one country.

We meet once a month as a group to network, share stories and hear a professional speak about topics of interest to Professional Women for their careers, their lifestyles or their world. Meetings are formal, but followed by a Q&A period, in which you can interact with speaker. Afterwards, we adjourn for a networking aperitivo and continue the conversations.
