EWISP (Executive Women International
Scholarship Program) provides scholarship funds
to outstanding high school seniors for their pursuit
of a baccalaureate degree from a post-secondary
education institution. Students are judged on their
oral and written communication skills, creativity,
scholastic records, financial need, involvement in
extracurricular activities, leadership qualities and
honors, citizenship, attitude, and clearly defined
career goals. In 2016, EWI of Honolulu will award up
to $20,000 in scholarships.
ASIST (Adult Students in Scholastic Transition)
Scholarship Program provides financial support
to adults facing economic, social, or physical
challenges, who are looking to improve their
situation through educational opportunities
(non-traditional students). The goal of the
scholarship is to enable recipients to improve
their self-esteem and to have a positive impact on
their personal life, employment, and community
through the furtherance of their education.
In 2016, EWI of Honolulu will award up to $20,000
in scholarships.
Who is EWI? Executive Women International is
a professional organization that brings together
key individuals from diverse businesses for the
purposes of promoting member firms, enhancing
personal and professional development, and
encouraging community involvement. EWI is
unique in that the firm, not the individual, holds
the membership.
Since its establishment in 1938 in San Francisco,
California, the organization has grown, and today,
EWI has more than 1,400 member firms and
1,700 representatives in chapters in major cities
across the U.S. and Canada. EWI of Honolulu was
established in 1967 and currently has 62 member
firms and 66 representatives.

How Member Firms Benefit from EWI: RESULTS
R
E
S
U
L
T
S
Relationships
EWI is an organization that believes in long-term, highly valuable relationships. EWI does not
work as a “quick-hit” lead generator. Rather, member representatives build lasting, sustainable,
and ultimately valuable business connections through trust and respect. The relationships your
employees form create associations between your organization and a diversity of other prestigious
firms and executives in your city.
Education
EWI offers hundreds of professional development webinars and other resources each year on
topics relevant to a member representative’s business and personal growth. Your investment
provides affordable access to professionally produced training that would be difficult for many
businesses to provide to their employees. To further your investment, member representatives are
encouraged and expected to share their learning with other employees.
Skills
EWI member representatives practice strong business ethics and build core skills such as public
speaking, effective leadership, mentoring, strategic planning, and even how to effectively and
efficiently run meetings with Robert’s Rules of Order.
Untapped Potential
Participation in EWI quickly raises your firm’s visibility among your city’s business community.
This affords you the ability to promote your products and services to audiences you may not reach
otherwise, both locally and throughout EWI’s North American network. Your firm will also have the
ability to build contacts by hosting Chapter Firm Nights or attending other Firm Nights and various
business meetings throughout the year.
Leadership
Many EWI member representatives cite leadership opportunities as a driving motivator for their
participation. EWI offers a number of ways to build real-world leadership skills through Chapter
leadership, Corporate Board participation, our Academy of Leadership program and other
initiatives. Additionally, your membership positions your firm and your member representatives as
leaders within your business community.
Tangible Returns
The EWI network is incredibly loyal and motivated to see your member representatives and your
firm succeed—more often than not, representatives look to one another first when they need a
specific product or service. Your firm will be listed in the EWI International Directory, considered
the “blue book” of industry professionals, which constitutes a network across the United States and
Canada for the exchange of information and business matters.
Support
Your member representatives will have a support structure of like-minded individuals outside of the
office for career advice and other needs. EWI membership also provides you with an opportunity to
support and recognize a top-ranking person within your firm by appointing her/him
to represent your organization. Lastly, EWI offers your firm a number of ways to support your
local community through good works, scholarship programs, and other philanthropic initiatives.
