Canadian Association of Women Executives and Entrepreneurs (“CAWEE”) may find it desirable to enter into an affiliation agreement with another like minded association for the purposes of advancing the CAWEE’s awareness and building outside relationships. The related association needs to pass a motion to be associated with CAWEE. The relationship is mutual, in that CAWEE needs to also pass a motion to accept affiliation with the other organization.

The purpose of the Affiliate Policy is:

• To enable the establishment of relationships that will increase awareness of CAWEE as well as benefit our members through one or more of the following: education, cross networking and business opportunities.
