The Professional American Women of Istanbul, PAWI, was started in February 2008 to allow working professionals to get together in a social setting.

PAWI strives to empower and support American/Canadian women and/or spouses of American/Canadians living in Istanbul to reach their full potential by promoting their professional and personal growth and inspiring them to achieve and share their successes.

PAWI meetings are held the second Saturday of each month, perfect for women with job obligations. Each meeting features a guest speaker, and locations alternate between the European and Asian sides. You can read more about us and our activities on our blog.

We look forward to welcoming you.
