One Step at a Time
Every February, BPW recognizes a Young Careerist. The recipient of this honor is a young professional who has accomplished much in his or her personal and professional life. To be eligible to participate in the Young Careerist program, a candidate must be between the ages of 21 and 35 years of age and live or work in Franklin or the surrounding community. This program has been inspiring and encouraging young professionals since 1968.
