Our Vision
The SA Council for Businesswomen aims to be the largest and preferred choice in businesswomen's networking and aims to meet and exceed the expectations of its members by supplying them with a value-added service that will stretch across all demographic, sociographic and geographic aspects and ensure true empowerment, upliftment, development and job creation for South Africans in general whilst being affiliated with other business networking organisations.

Our Mission
The SABW is a dynamic, vibrant and powerful agent of change and development for all levels of businesswomen, where they may learn, grow and be challenged to excel in a supportive and uplifting environment, through a value-added service and networking opportunities presented by the organisation.

Our Objectives:

• To act and be accepted by all government bodies as the mouthpiece of members.

• By formal and informal liaison, to coordinate views of members and present these effectively to the government and other relevant decision makers.
• By means of a data bank of advisory services and information, to establish immediate contact between members and institutions and authorities concerned so that problems can be solved.
• To liaise with other organisations in the interests of the South African business community and to undertake and carry out common projects where appropriate.
• To promote communication and contact between members and the Board of Management.
• To increase the share that women have in the business sector and to strengthen the inherent character and culture of the Council.
• To promote entrepreneurship and create awareness among the general public and the young entrepreneurs in particular, of the advantages of a market-orientated economic system.
