OAME - Organización Argentina de Mujeres Empresarias

What OAME - Organización Argentina de Mujeres Empresarias does

OAME (Organización Argentina de Mujeres Empresarias) is a membership-based nonprofit organization founded in 1964 in Rosario, Santa Fe, Argentina, that serves as the principal national network for women entrepreneurs, business owners, and women in decision-making positions. With approximately 10 employees and a 60-year operational history, the organization operates a portfolio of programs including an annual networking breakfast (Desayuno OAME), the Latin American FCEM Encounter (Encuentro FCEM LATAM), the Premio Latinoamericano Lidia Sartoris Angeli award, a mentorship program (Programa Madrinas), the Voces Vitales Mentoring Walk, regional leadership programs touring Argentine provinces, and the specialized ECO Agro OAME vertical for women in agriculture.

OAME does not operate a proprietary technology platform; its digital infrastructure consists of standard website (wixstatic.com-hosted), email, virtual meeting tools, and social media (Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram). The organization's core service is community access rather than software, with membership granting entry to national and international events, training workshops, mentoring relationships, and the broader FCEM network spanning 32+ countries across five continents. OAME's international positioning is anchored by its FCEM affiliation (where President Patricia García serves as Vice President) and bilateral programs with OBME (Brazil) and OMEU (Uruguay).

The business model relies on annual recurring membership fees paid by women entrepreneurs, supplemented by tiered corporate sponsorship (Diamond, Gold, Silver collaborating companies) and event-driven revenue. The member base is horizontal rather than vertical, spanning agriculture, printing, real estate, occupational health, and other industries, and includes notable enterprises such as LETIS S.A., Veneta, Rossetti S.A., Banco Municipal, and Czerweny. Go-to-market is community-led and event-driven, with regional delegations across Argentina and major events functioning as the primary acquisition and retention mechanism.

Expansion highlights6 records

Others

• UN Women: United Nations entity dedicated to gender equality and women's empowerment. OAME is a partner through the Ganar-Ganar program and WEPs — not a direct competitor, but an adjacent institutional player addressing overlapping women-economic-empowerment goals.

Broad incumbents

• WEConnect International: Global nonprofit connecting women-owned businesses to corporate supply chains. Comparable women-business network model with a more explicit corporate procurement and supplier-diversity angle.
• National Association of Women Business Owners (NAWBO): U.S. nationwide membership association for women business owners. Significantly larger and more institutionalized but operates an analogous model: membership dues, chapters, advocacy, events, and education for women entrepreneurs.
• Vital Voices Global Partnership: Global women's leadership organization founded in 1997 (by Hillary Clinton) operating the Global Mentoring Walk that OAME participates in annually. Comparable women-leadership mission with broader international scope and programmatic depth.
• Women Presidents Organization (WPO): U.S./global peer-to-peer membership organization for women presidents and CEOs of multimillion-dollar companies. Comparable high-engagement, peer-group membership model targeting women business leaders.

Direct peers

• FCEM (Federación de Mujeres Empresarias): Global federation of women business owners of which OAME is the Argentine member. Closely aligned mission (women's entrepreneurship, international networking, FCEM congresses) and direct organizational affiliation make it the most natural direct peer.
• OMEU (Organización de Mujeres Empresarias del Uruguay): Uruguayan sister organization that co-hosted the 2023 FCEM World Committee Steering Committee with OAME. Same FCEM-affiliated structure, comparable member profile, and demonstrated joint programming make this a direct regional peer.
• OBME (Organização Brasileira de Mulheres Empresárias): Brazilian counterpart women business owners' organization that co-organized the 2020 Argentina-Brazil Business Women Encounter with OAME. Operates as the Brazilian FCEM affiliate with a near-identical model of membership, events, and international trade facilitation.
