NAWEM Kuching
Initiated by Sarawakian founding members Dr. Dianne Tsen and Cynthia Lim, NAWEM Kuching was inaugurated on 8th September 2014. Their shared aspiration to connect Sarawakian women entrepreneurs to a national association became the impetus for this chapter's establishment.
This affiliation allows members to network with their Peninsular sisters while attending chapter events within Sarawak. The Sarawak Chapter continues to grow in strength, taking women entrepreneurs in the region beyond its boundaries.
