Welcome to Professional Networking Association, Northwest.
PNAnw (Professional Networking Association Northwest) is a locally owned business networking organization connecting small business owners, professionals and entrepreneurs throughout Washington. Our category-protected networking chapters help members build trusted business relationships, exchange qualified referrals, develop strategic partnerships and grow their businesses through consistent, relationship-driven networking.
What We Offer
PNAnw, LLC was created by its original founders in 2002 by learning from other groups what NOT to do.
The #PNAway business model is to network effectively, run positive and supportive meetings, experience quality presentations, create engagement with speech break-outs, benefit from testimonials, earn referrals & have fun.

• Category Protection: One representative per approved business category in each physical chapter.
• Referral Opportunities: Build relationships with professionals who learn your business and can recognize opportunities to refer you.
• Weekly Connections: Consistent meetings keep members visible, engaged and connected.
• Cross-Chapter Networking: Expand relationships beyond your home chapter and connect with PNAnw members throughout the region.

Testimonials
I’ve had the privilege of watching this networking group transform from a room full of professionals into a powerhouse community that genuinely shows up for one another. PNAnw isn’t just about swapping business cards — it’s about building relationships that actually do something. Thanks to the consistent support and collaboration within the group, I’ve gained high-quality referrals that have directly impacted my business. More importantly, I’ve gained partners I can trust, learn from, and frequently laugh with when the coffee kicks with productivity. If you’re looking for a networking group that is professional yet welcoming, productive yet never boring, PNAnw is the place to be. Here, you’ll grow your connections, strengthen your business, and enjoy the process along the way.
