The original name of this organization was "Der Deutsche Professional Stammtisch". Due to its rapidly growing popularity and the increasing number of participants, Christina Griesser decided in 2002 to officially register the organization. The name, GPWA - German Professional Women's Association, was chosen by the members during one of the many brainstorming session that lead to the formation of the GPWA.
