EWI Los Angeles 70th Anniversary Celebration

EWI Los Angeles was established in May, 1939. We have the proud distinction of being the oldest chapter of Executive Women International. On May 14, 2009, we celebrated our 70th Anniversary milestone at member firm Shutters on the Beach Hotel in Santa Monica. It was a perfect venue to hold our Platinum Anniversary event. With the help and support of our Los Angeles members, and EWI partners from San Diego, San Fernando Valley and Long Beach, the event was a huge success. EWI Corporate President, Peggy Quinn, EWI Memphis, was our guest speaker who gave a passionate presentation about the organization and plans for future success. We also viewed a captivating video showing the accomplishments we have made over the years. Pictures from the evening can be viewed below. Click on the images to see a larger version.
