COMMUNITY SERVICE

Verdugo Glen chapter members are active participants in many philanthropic projects in the community. The Glendale YWCA, Girls Scouts, Kiwanis, Boys and Girls Club, Salvation Army's Angel Tree, Burbank Chamber of Commerce, Emblem Clubs of the Elks and Glendale Beautiful are a few of these organizations.

 

NETWORKING

An important part of belonging to ABWA is the networking opportunities. Whether one already has a business or is interested in starting one, networking is the way to go. At each monthly meeting, time is set aside for members to network with each other. Verdugo Glen belongs to the Los Angeles Area Council (LAAC), Impact Council and Inland Valley Council which allow the members to network with other chapters from all over the greater Southern California area.

 

In addition, the Chapter is an active participant in the Orange County and Los Angeles "Biggest Mixers", area State Legislator's "Women in Business" luncheon, and other community events.
