  We represent ABWA, the America Business Women’s Association. Our association,  (one of the largest of its kind), is the educational and networking resource for professional women throughout the United States.

                                           

  Since its founding in 1949 by Hilary A. Bufton, Jr. a Missouri businessman, ABWA has made a commitment to American working women – helping thousands of women fulfill their career dreams and lead a better more satisfying life. Mr. Bufton recognized the positive impact working women could have, and the need for a supporting organization to help reach their educational and career goals.

                                           

  Through self-development programs, seminars, community involvement, and leadership training, ABWA provides opportunities for businesswomen to express their interests, achieve their goals, and receive well-earned recognition.

                                           

  Today, ABWA’s national membership is over 35000 members strong and continues to grow. There are chapters in every state, with three in Broward Country alone.

                                           

  In the decades to come, the significance of ABWA’s mission will become even more important. As the business world changes, and the businesswomen move on to even higher degrees of achievement, the American Business Women’s Association will be there, providing the means the needs to succeed.

                                           

About the Coral Springs Charter Chapter…

                                           

  Our chapter was chartered in May of 1986 and currently has a membership of approximately 50 talented, diverse women. It is a great place to build confidence, develop and practice new skills and cultivate new friendships.

                                           

  The goals of our chapter are to increase the networking abilities of all our members by promoting both business and personal relationships between members; to enhance the skills/abilities of our members through social, business and educational functions; and to provide opportunities for women in our chapter and community to better themselves through education.

                                           

  Chapter membership offers a strong community service and philanthropic focus, monthly meetings and educational, networking and fund raising opportunities. Local members gain valuable experience and leadership skills in a supportive environment by managing meetings, working on committees, working on fund-raising projects and speaking at chapter functions.

                                           

  The Chapter meets the first Thursday of each month (except holidays) for dinner, business meeting and program. Guests are welcomed.
