International Active Women Association



Home

IAWA History

In 1986, a few female business leaders took the initiative to set up the International Active Women Association, a non-profit organisation. They felt the need to share their experiences with other professionally activewomen and wanted to do so in a friendly atmosphere. In the early stages, the eight founding members each searched for potential members within their region. Our group soon went nation-wide, consisting of around 50 members. Today, we are active in both Flanders, Wallonia, Brussels and in the German district. Meanwhile our group continued to grow and now boasts around 100 members.
