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.
