Our History
The Lincoln-Way Area Business Women's Organization (LWABWO) is a non profit club formed (in the 1970's) to support the interest and networking of the business women in the work world, as well as, to extend opportunities to local business women through education.

Our main focus is to provide scholarship funds to graduating female high school seniors and adult women for the purpose of continuing education.
