The Mission of BPW is to achieve equity for all women in the workplace through advocacy, education and information.

The Goal of BPW is to be the leading nonpartisan, grassroots advocate for working women.

Throughout the years BPW has focused on three core issues: the elimination of gender discrimination, equal pay for women,  and ratifying the equal rights amendment

In 1971, the U.S.Congress declared the 26th of August: "Women's Equality Day."  August 26 is the anniversary of the 1920 passage of the 19th Amendment to the U.S.Constitution, which provides that, "The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or any state on account of sex."

Saturday, October 23, 2010 at Boca Royale, Englewood: Save this very important date on your calendar NOW!

In 1961 the first BPW of Englewood meeting was held offering the women in the community a voice, a mission, a sisterhood, an organization improving the lives of women.

Through the Decades our local BPW made a presence in the community from a street light at Dearborn to Dollars For Mamograms and Educational scholarships for local women. The members have always made a difference.

Because of this important occasion the Executive Committee and Board has canceled the normal 3rd Tuesday business meeting.

Let's make this 50th anniversary a huge success. This is open to your family, guests, and past BPW sisters.

More details will be forthcoming. Mark your calendars now for Saturday, October 23, 2010 and buy your tickets today!
