Who We Are

BPW encompasses and represents women on a state, national, and international level, meeting once a year for an Annual Meeting and every three years for an International Congress. BPW has a voice at the United Nations and is active in the legislative process in the United States. It is one of the oldest and most diverse group of women that gather together to address problems and create solutions for women and children around the world.

BPW/WA President Message

Welcome to 2025, as we reflect on the incredible journey that has spanned over a century, we stand proud of the impact we’ve made, the strides we’ve taken, and the doors we've opened for women across generations. Since our founding in 1921, we’ve remained steadfast in our mission to develop the professional, business, and leadership potential of women at all levels.

Through every challenge faced and every milestone achieved, we’ve proven that when women support and uplift one another, the world changes for the better. Each member brings unique strengths to this organization, and together, we are a force to be reckoned with.

Let us continue to break barriers, shatter ceilings, and create opportunities for the women who will follow in our footsteps. The future is bright because of the foundation we have built and the passion we carry forward.

Here's to another 100+ years of empowerment, leadership, and progress. Together, we are unstoppable.

With admiration,

Your State President

THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING OUR AUCTION!

We raised over 20K with your help.

What a great evening had by all; we are so thankful for everyone who made it to McMenamin's. We will get more pictures up but I wanted to highlight our beloved Irene Carter who is 99 years young and taking a photo with her daughter in our photo booth.
