Our Local Board

Meet our volunteers PWN Vienna Steering Committee

PWN Global functions with a small number of service providers and with the enormous support of a dedicated team of volunteers.

Our Global and Local Boards are as diverse as our membership, featuring entrepreneurs and corporate professionals from across a wide range of industries.

Being involved in a not-for-profit organisation can be one of the most challenging and rewarding activities that you will ever undertake. The sense of camaraderie that builds up between Board members ensures that solid lifelong relationships are forged, which supports professional and personal development on many different levels.
