Our Mission

To provide a supportive environment for learning, risk taking, individual growth and development for all BPW members.

BPW welcomes women from all walks of life to explore their potential. We help connect women of all ages and skill levels to programs that enhance leadership and professional abilities. Our meetings include learning, networking, and opportunities to engage with your fellow business and professional women. Our club fosters an atmosphere of empowerment for women to find their voice in the professional world.
