Supporting Island Business Women
The Prince Edward Island Business Women’s Association (PEIBWA) is a dynamic network of women entrepreneurs and business professionals from across PEI.
The organization’s membership represents women at all stages of their careers and businesses – from start-up entrepreneurs, established business owners, and mid-career business professionals, to dynamic rural entrepreneurs, newcomers launching their businesses, students, and more.
A member-based not-for-profit organization, PEIBWA has a mandate to educate, empower and inspire PEI women to succeed in their business endeavours.
It is the only women’s business association with an Island-wide mandate in the province and has a membership of some 540 women entrepreneurs and business professionals. PEIBWA provides advisory services, training, opportunities for development, and connections with other women in business.
PEIBWA provides members with a range of programs and services to support them at every stage of their business and career, from one-on-one business advising and programs, to exclusive member events and co-working space.
