Dotsie,

EWI is Executive Women International. Here is some of what was in the book about EWI.

EWI was established in 1938 to provide businesswomen from diverse industries a forum for promoting their firms, enhancing their personal and professional development and engaging in community activities. Today, EWI has 75 chapters and 3,000 members across the United States, Canada, and Europe who remain committed to bringing value to its firms, to benefiting the careers of its representatives and to providing service to EWI communities.

Both Lori Giovannoni and I have been featured presenters at the annual Leadership Conferences that EWI Hosts. Also, the Spring Conferences.

We have had a great partnership with EWI for years so it made perfect sense to create a win/win opportunity with the book.

Since 1992, EWI has been committed to promoting literacy through annual Reading Rallies hosted by EWI Chapters throughout the organization.

EWI’s signature event, conducted with community groups, schools, and national associations, promotes reading to children. Chapters host a variety of programs that range from community read-ins and book donations to major events involving celebrities, story characters, and the creation of reading rooms. More than 700 EWI volunteers work with approximately 20,000 children at schools, crisis centers, hospitals, and community organizations during Reading Rally events each year.

To learn more about the Reading Rally and find out what is happening in your local area visit executivewomen.org.

Our commitment to EWI and the Reading Rally was to donate $1 per book we sell to the Reading Rally. So far we have donated several thousand dollars and would love to donate lots more.

Let me know if you would like more information.
