Women’s Golf Association Expands its International Presence
PALM BEACH GARDENS, FL, July 18, 2007 – The first European chapter of the Executive Women’s Golf Association (EWGA) has opened in Paris. Founded by Maureen Rabotin of Effective Global Leadership, EWGA – France has already recruited 33 members and established an ongoing calendar of activities. They will hold monthly "EWGA Friday des Femmes" at the L’Isle Adam Golf Club which will include a business workshop and networking lunch followed by golf, as well as golf clinics at Golf de l’Ile Fleurie.
"As an avid golfer and a global executive coach, I work with companies who are going through the globalization process. EWGA offers the work/life balance I was looking for and the opportunity to be involved in the globalization of the association," says Rabotin. "What a wonderful reason to play more golf and help other women get involved in the game for both personal and professional benefits."
Founded in 1991, the EWGA provides opportunities for women to learn, play, and enjoy the game of golf for business and for life. There are currently 120 chapters throughout the United States and two Canadian chapters. EWGA chapters provide a wide range of golf, social and networking activities for both new and experienced golfers.
Members enjoy a welcoming environment, golf education and player development, and organized play programs as well as the opportunity to compete in the EWGA Championship, considered the world’s largest women’s amateur golf competition. Other benefits include special pricing from golf facilities participating in the EWGA Golf Club Network and access to the EWGA ‘members only’ database.
"With the addition of EWGA-France, our association is becoming a global network for golf, social and business connections," says Pam Swensen, the CEO of the EWGA. "We take great pride in our long established Canadian chapters, and are looking forward to welcoming more chapters and working women who share a passion for golf from throughout the world."
The EWGA is headquartered in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. For more information about the association and membership, visit www.ewga.com.
