Global Women’s Leadership Network (GWLN) is bursting with diverse groups of women from all walks of life, expertise, and professional levels. We support one another to develop the leadership potential and career advancing skills needed to drive the global credit union industry. Check out the membership benefits and join other credit union women across the globe.

Sister Societies

The local and state presence of GWLN is vibrant, empowering women’s leadership groups dedicated to fostering a supportive community across Alabama, Florida, Georgia, and Virginia. These Sister Societies are a part of the GWLN, an organization committed to advancing women’s opportunities and creating positive change.

Within each Sister Society, members engage in various activities and initiatives aimed at promoting professional development, networking, and mentorship opportunities for women. The groups provide a platform for women to share experiences and exchange ideas that contribute to personal and collective growth.

Join our supportive and empowering environment for women seeking to enhance their leadership skills, expand their networks, and contribute to the advancement of women.

We also come together annually for the INSPIRE Conference.
