Independent Women’s Network Launches Charleston, South Carolina Chapter
CHARLESTON, S.C. – Independent Women’s Network (IWN), the national grassroots community activist arm of Independent Women’s Voice, celebrates the launch of its Charleston, South Carolina Chapter. This chapter joins 24 chapters around the country and an online community of more than 25,000 members.
“When women lead things will happen. Behind every successful woman is a tribe of other successful women. Fierce minds, kind hearts, brave spirits – that’s our formula for successful women,” said Charleston Chapter Leader Denise Johnson.
Specializing in millennial leadership and personal development, Denise Johnson was born in Charleston, South Carolina and grew up on James Island. Denise is the founder and president of Opportunity Calls Everyone (O.C.E.) Family Development Center, wife, and mother. Denise holds a Bachelor’s degree in Social Work from Benedict College, a Master’s degree in Biblical Counseling from Luther Rice University & Seminary, and is a proud member of the Charleston Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. In addition to her role as the IWN Charleston Chapter Leader, is also an Independent Women’s Forum Education Freedom Ambassador.
For the launch, the IWN Charleston Chapter was joined by Andi Bottner, Vice President of External Relations for Independent Women’s Forum, to discuss common sense policies that preserve women’s freedom and rights.
“It is terrific to see a new chapter of the Independent Women’s Network launch in Charleston,” said Andi Bottner. “These energized women working with Chapter Leader Denise Johnson, will undoubtedly make a huge impact in their community. These women know that parental involvement matters in schools and I have no doubt their voices will be heard. It is uplifting to see women come together, unite around issues that matter to them and then go make a difference.”
IWN was created to build a supportive community for women and to give them the tools they need to make a positive difference in their neighborhoods and our country.
“We heard from thousands of women from across the country who said they wanted a community where they could connect, share ideas, and take action,” said IWN’s Carrie Lukas. “We launched the Independent Women’s Network to stand shoulder to shoulder with women who are ready to turn our economy around and fight to save our freedoms by countering the woke mob and standing up to cancel culture and out-of-touch bureaucrats.”
An engaging and growing community of independently-minded women work together to advance shared principles through chapter gatherings and the IWN online movement. Membership to IWN opens access to message boards, curated news, smart content, a resource center, exclusive events, and an action center.
“IWN members are happy warriors who stand up to bullies – bullies with positions in school boards; bullies on social media; bullies in corporations and in politics,” said IWN Director Julie Gunlock. “We support one another, and our members are not alone when they stand up to lead on issues critical to our country.”
