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 15000 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.
