Welcome to
SWAN
Strong Women Arise NetworK

Women's networking at its best
Real Women.
Real Relationships.
The #1 thing we hear from our members is that SWAN is different. We love hearing this because it means we are remaining true to our goal.
We are women who connect on a very honest and real level. Our SWAN events follow a more natural flow than most networking groups and chamber events. Strong Women Arise Network prioritizes relationships first. Genuine relationships are built and nurtired through our local Facebook groups, our events, and our annual conference - SWAN Con.

Women's Networking Leaders
Meet Our SWAN Chapter Leaders
SWAN - Strong Women Arise Network currently has three chapters located throughout Michigan. Each chapter has a local leader that is engaged with their community. Our SWAN leaders are what make our groups run efficiently and effectively. We want you to have someone in your local area that can help you make positive connections.
What Makes SWAN Different?
As a women's empowerment group, we know that relationships are the very heartbeat of what we do. Our chapter leaders are connecters. They plan monthly events for women to meet in person and keep our Facebook groups active.
When you go to a SWAN event, you don't have to compete with others in the group. You will find women that will pour into you. You will also meet women who are facing challenges you can help with.
Would You Like a Local SWAN Chapter?
We would love to come to your area! Are you in another state? No problem. Remember, it is all about connections and getting in touch with the right women. Women's networking needs a facelift, not just in Michigan, but across the country. Reach out to Angela if you have interest in starting a chapter OR if you know someone who would be perfect as a SWAN Leader. Connect us, and let's see what we can do together.
SWAN - 3 Chapters And Growing!
SWAN - Strong Women Arise Network is based out of Grand Rapids. But we want to expand across the country, and we are continuing to grow!
