What our members are saying about ABWA Imperial River...

"The Imperial River chapter has welcomed me with open arms. Everyone is so friendly and inviting. Most importantly ABWA has provided me with the opportunity to learn so much, whether that be from the guest speakers or the other members. I now have a network of women to look up to and gain so much from."

- Fabiola Martinez, Communications Student at FGCU
