IMAGINE. THE MOST INFLUENTIAL FILIPINA WOMEN IN THE WORLD GATHERED IN ONE ROOM. IN TORONTO. WHERE FWN WILL CONVENE A VERY IMPORTANT POLICY GATHERING. EACH WITH THEIR PROTÉGÉS, FEMTEES.

PINAY POWER 2017 is finally here. Launched in 2006 at the Filipina Summit held at the Philippine Consulate in San Francisco, FWN envisioned the Pinay Power campaign – a dream with a meaningful purpose—to double the number of Filipina women leaders by 2020.

To implement the power campaign, FWN launched in 2007 the search for the 100 Most Influential Filipina Women in the United States Award™ and in 2013 expanded the search to include the Filipina women in the diaspora with the 100 Most Influential Filipina Women in the World Award™ (Global FWN100™).

The annual FWN Summit brings together Filipina women global leaders, influencers, thinkers and public figures for discussions, learning journeys, “kwentuhan strategies” on how to succeed as multi-cultural professionals and private chats to ignite cooperation through public and private partnerships. The high-powered gathering is a vital part of FWN’s Pinay Power 2020 Mission. It is the leading forum of its kind in the Filipina global community, which inspires a renewed understanding of the Filipino culture’s emerging influence as a community.

The summit raises funds for its international advocacy that seeks to increase the power of Filipina women as leaders and policy makers at all levels in corporate, government, institutions and community organizations to achieve economic and social justice and women’s rights.

FWN’s programs include pipeline development of qualified next generation leaders to increase the odds that some will rise to the “president” position.
