Our story

A community built on showing up for each other.

The Charlotte Charter Chapter is part of the American Business Women's Association — a national legacy of leadership, education, and recognition since 1949. Open to women and men who champion women in business.

Our mission

We bring together Charlotte's business community — women and men — to grow professionally, lead boldly, and build the kind of relationships that change careers and lives.

We're not a club — we're a chapter family. We celebrate every promotion, launch, and pivot. We mentor. We refer. We show up.

And we do it all with a lot of laughter, plenty of coffee, and a deep love for Charlotte.
