We have been uniting and advocating for women since 1919!

• We have a history and shared commitment to women's issues for over 100 years. We work to empower and ally with women through education, advocacy, mentoring, networking, skill building and economic empowerment programs and projects.
  
  
• We are a national network of Business and Professional Women with global affiliation to the International Federation of Business and Professional Women in 110 countries, over five continents; helping to develop professional and leadership potential for women at all levels.
  
  
• We represent women in the workplace, in enterprise and community, through government advocacy, networking and education. As part of BPW/International, we hold a consultative role on various United Nations women issues and attend, at a UN Delegate level, the yearly Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) event.

Join us and connect through our in-person & virtual events, members-only Facebook groups, leadership training, calls to action and more!
