Mission
Statement
To achieve
equity for all women in the workplace through advocacy, education,
and information.
Business and
Professional Women/USA, founded in 1919, promotes equity for all
women in the workplace through advocacy, education and information.
With 1,500 Local Organizations across the country and members in
every congressional district, BPW/USA is the leading advocate for
millions of workingwomen on work-life effectiveness and workplace
equity issues. BPW Local Organizations provide members with
professional development programs, networking, participation in
grassroots activism, and opportunities to support scholarships for
disadvantaged women.
One of the
first women’s organizations to endorse the Equal Rights
Amendment in 1937, BPW/USA has been a successful leader in promoting
and supporting legislation affecting workingwomen ever since. In
addition, BPW educates its members on policy issues and provides them
the tools to become effectively involved in policy development in
their own workplaces and in grassroots efforts at the local, state
and federal levels. BPW/USA members not only work at the grassroots
level but support their beliefs financially. BPW’s Political
Action Committee (BPW/PAC) provides contributions and endorsements to
women and pro-women federal candidates who support the BPW
legislative agenda.
BPW Working
for Workplace Equity and Work-life Effectiveness
BPW/USA’s
commitment to America’s workingwomen is reflected in our
Signature Events, programs and work that benefit local communities,
aid in the personal and professional development of women, and raise
awareness of issues affecting workingwomen among business leaders and legislators.
Signature
conferences, events and programs sponsored by BPW/USA and the BPW
Foundation are important tools for communicating the core values of
BPW and connecting women across the country as they learn from each
other, support each other, network, improve working conditions, and
create lifelong connections.
