Independent Women operates as a virtual office. While we maintain regular working hours, our virtual office means staff spends more time getting things done and less time sitting in traffic. Still, we understand the importance of personal relationships, which is why we remain in constant daily communication, hold weekly department calls, and host annual in-person meetings.

Interns at Independent Women will receive a stipend, one-on-one guidance and connection with like-minded women.
