An organization for women business owners, management executives, and professionals.

Our Mission History Scholarships Networking

Women's FOCUS, Inc. is a not-for-profit organization whose purpose is to provide a networking opportunity to support its members and their businesses.

The goal and responsibility of the organization is to educate, provide connections, and different avenues for personal growth of its members.

An Idea Emerges
On a fall day in 1978, in the Ozaukee County community of Grafton, Wisconsin, at SEEK, Incorporated (then known as CEEK Office Services, Inc.) a discussion of the need for a business women’s group was taking place.

At that time, women’s participation in organizations traditionally reserved for businessmen was not in vogue...More

Awarded Annually
Each year a scholarship of up to $1,000.00 per semester is awarded to an outstanding, female student seeking a degree at Milwaukee Area Technical College (MATC). The scholarship is renewable each semester, and is dependant upon specific criteria being met.

Interested individuals are encouraged to apply...More

Women's FOCUS, Inc. is a rather unusual networking group in that our membership is capped at 100 members.

Other organizations subscribe to the theory that more is better. While philosophy has its benefits, our founding mothers had a different concept in mind: quality over quantity.

A Note From Our President
Women and Networking

Darcy McManusWe all know the story about why and how FOCUS came into being, as an association for women business owners and professionals who wished to engage in business networking but who were shut out of the old-boys networks. As time has gone by, many women have joined associations within the former old-boys networks that have, for the most part, now included and in many cases welcomed women members.

So, why belong to FOCUS or another womenonly networking organization? Are there advantages to belonging to such a group? .........More
