About the Ohio Network

APIW Ohio is entering its second year in 2026 as a statewide network serving members across Ohio, The Heart of it All. With leadership positioned in different regions, the chapter emphasizes inclusive, accessible engagement through virtual events, watch parties, and in‑person connections. Its diverse Steering Committee represents multiple carriers, vendors, and professional disciplines, reflecting the breadth of its membership.

APIW Ohio designs events with the organization’s pillars at the forefront, ensuring meaningful experiences for our members.

“What I love most about APIW Ohio is the sense of belonging. This network is filled with women who show up for each other—whether it’s through advice, encouragement, or opportunities for growth. The content is relevant, the connections are sincere, and the energy feels empowering. Being part of this group has helped me approach my career with more clarity and confidence.”

Julie Baxter, Ohio Network Steering Committee Member - Learning & Development
