The organization has a purpose of helping women become more comfortable and focused on the business of money. Women have $7 trillion dollars in spending power, but statistics show that women have a higher tendency of being poor during their lifetime. The chapters each have a leadership team that consists of chapter president who then has women who volunteer to take on the other leadership roles. The chapters each host their own meetings. In these meetings women learn about how to make the most of whatever financial situation they are currently in. The chapters consist of women who are entrepreneurs, direct sales representatives, and corporate executives. During these meetings women are able to support one another by providing opportunities for women to connect and share their products and services.
