What Members Are Saying

It’s can be difficult to form new friendships when you move to a new area as people are already ingrained in their own set circles- it can be awkward and intimidating to break into that. In contrast, Lakes Area Professional Women is very open, warm, and friendly. The relationships I have forged through LAPW have opened up so many opportunities both personally and professionally. If you’re craving a community of women who will genuinely cheer for you… you’ve come to the right place.

Danielle Peterson

2021 LAPW President

I have been a member for 16 years. I have really enjoyed getting to know the members of BPW and LAPW, learning and growing together as we raise our families; establish careers, and just being good stewards of the great community we live in.

I was looking for an avenue to connect with other like-minded individuals in the community, and when I attended my first LAPW meeting, I knew that I had found it. The professional development and the personal connections have made such an impact on my growth as a leader. I don’t hesitate to encourage women to join LAPW.
