WOMEN'S ELECTRICAL BOARD

The Women's Electrical Board, which was originally the St. Louis Chapter of the Electrical Women's Round Table, a branch of the Electrical Women's Round Table, Inc. of New York, was formed in the Spring of 1950. The Electrical Women's Round Table, Inc. of New York was organized in 1927 and had the distinction of being the only independent organization in the Electrical Industry.

The Electrical Women's Round Table became the Electrical Women's Board of Trade (EWBT) when it became a division of the St. Louis Electrical Board in October, 1956 with 24 charter members.

During the 1982-83 year of operation, the organization was renamed the Women's Electrical Board (WEB).

Today, our organization is comprised of over 100 women in the electrical industry. WEB members hold various positions in electrical companies: inside/outside sales, purchasers, vice presidents, administrative assistants and many other important positions.

WEB offers women the opportunity to meet others in the electrical industry and to obtain knowledge through various programs relating to electrical, governmental and business issues each month. Through our organization, these members can meet customers and others in the industry who share the same goals and ideas about the electrical industry. Not only is our organization involved with the electrical industry, but has also become involved with various St. Louis community projects.

WEB meets once a month (September through May) at a restaurant or member company facility. The meetings begin at 5:30 - 6:15 p.m.-hospitality (cash bar); 6:15 - 7:15 p.m. - dinner and 7:15 - 8:15 p.m.-program. We try to keep the dinner costs to $21-$25. This group averages 40 members at each meeting, which is a great percentage attending out of the entire membership. Involvement and commitment by the many members of WEB through the years have made this organization so successful - from the past chairpersons who have dedicated their time, to all committee members and finally to each individual member, who continually supports each WEB activity.

Dues are $40 per year, but we encourage women to attend several meetings before joining WEB. They are under NO obligation to join by attending a meeting.
