Novi Oaks Charter Chapter
NOVI, MICHIGAN
The Novi Oaks Charter Chapter is a non-profit business league in The American Business Women's Association, which was founded on September 22, 1949.
Our Novi Oaks Charter Chapter was founded by Bettie Archer Johnson (1923-2017) on January 29, 1990. Bettie was a WWII Navy WAVES veteran, a 50-year enthusiastic member of ABWA, and always a dedicated advocate for women.
ABWA is a premier women's organization that provides business-relevant speakers, seminars, and hands-on leadership opportunities. Members gain skills in face-to-face communication, collaboration, and relationship-building, which are particularly important skills for younger workers. Although it is not guaranteed, many members make connections that lead to future business, and sometimes, lifelong friendships.
​
Regular meetings on the second Wednesday of the month begin at 6:00 p.m. and feature a speaker and a short chapter meeting. Pre-registration is required. Visit our Events page for details on the meetings.
