Women Presidents’ Organization (WPO) Announces New Salt Lake City Chapter Kickoff Reception
National Organization Invites Interested Women Presidents
of Multimillion-Dollar Corporations To Reception

Salt Lake City, Utah – The Women Presidents’ Organization (WPO) has announced that the organization will hold a Salt Lake City chapter kickoff reception on Thursday, October 27 from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at the Little America Hotel. WPO is a nonprofit membership organization for a diverse group of women presidents who have guided their businesses to at least $2 million in gross annual sales (or $1 million for a service-based business). All interested women presidents who qualify are invited to attend the reception.

With approximately 1000 members and 55 chapters located throughout the nation and in Canada, the WPO has experienced rapid growth since its inception. Local WPO chapters, coordinated by a professional facilitator, meet once a month, before or after work hours, at convenient locations usually hosted by a local corporation, such as Key Bank in Salt Lake City.

““The WPO is excited to expand to Salt Lake City, a growing area ripe with opportunity for women business owners,” said Marsha Firestone, Ph.D., president and founder of the WPO. “Chapter meetings offer a wonderful forum in which to meet and interact with other women business owners, and to discuss important business issues with others who have similar experiences. Our members are influential, powerful women who contribute significantly to the U.S. economy.”
