IAW has absorbed the National Association of Professional Women (NAPW), which was also a brand of Professional Diversity Network, Inc. IAW was created to represent a natural evolution of NAPW, with a global reach and an expanded set of benefits.

Yes, all current NAPW members are members of IAW. 

We offer a blend of networking, professional development with a dose of motivation to help you realize your dreams, rise and lead. Through our large reach we are able to provide resources that smaller organizations can’t provide. Perhaps more significantly, IAW is one of the only organizations that is part of a publicly-traded global corporation which has as its mission the success of its members. Our publicly-traded status means that we are subject to all of the checks and balances that privately-owned businesses often are not.  In addition, over 95% of our IAW employees are women, which means that every decision we make is made by women who respect and understand what you want in an organization like ours.
