What We Do
BPW/WA is a non-profit that champions women's growth, from personal goals to political savvy. Through diverse membership, networking, and programs, we help women of all backgrounds achieve equity and leadership.
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.
President's Message
Last year was great – we now have this wonderful new logo, also have become a 501c3 and have organized a Virtual Club. Our membership is growing and we are concentrating on bringing in younger professionals with the help of the new Virtual Club and social media, such as Meet-up, GoDaddy, Google Search and others.
Those members ages 18-35 are also being requested to be a part of the Young BPW. The Young BPW is being planned to ask and assist the members as to what interests them the most and what kind of education and/or speakers they would like. The Young BPW staff are also scheduling power point presentations with local universities and high schools on resume writing, how to conduct yourself at an interview, proper writing of thank-you letters, follow-up of interviews, job/work behavior and professionalism, etc...
