9th Filipina Summit: Pinay Power 2012

IMAGINE.
The most powerful Filipina American women in the United States gathered in one room. In San Francisco. Where FWN was founded.

PINAY POWER 2012 is finally here. Launched in 2006 at the Filipina Summit held at the Philippine Consulate in San Francisco, we envisioned the Pinay Power 2012 campaign - a dream with a meaningful purpose - to double the number of Filipina women leaders by 2012.

To implement the campaign, we launched in 2007 the search for the 100 Most Influential Filipina Women in the United States envisioned as a working recognition award. We asked each selected awardee to "re-invent herself by giving back" to the future of the Filipina American community by femtoring ONE protégée thus helping in building the talent pipeline of Filipina leaders.

THE TIME HAS COME. This year we gather all the 100 Most Influential Filipina Women in the United States selected in 2007, 2009 and 2011 to return to San Francisco with their protégés.

FWN will be honoring THE INFLUENTIAL FILIPINAS - paying tribute to their work and their protégés collectively enhancing the rich history of our Filipina American culture.
