The Canadian Federation of Business and Professional Women’s Clubs (BPW Canada) develops the professional and leadership potential of women in Canada through education, awareness, advocacy and mentoring within a supportive network. Located in almost every major city in Canada, BPW is a major networking group for women in Canada.
The mission is to achieve a just and equal status of women in all levels and areas of society where decisions are taken in true partnership with men, based on mutual respect, for a more balanced and peaceful world. Founded in 1930, BPW Canada is part of the International Federation of Business and Professional Women, with clubs in more than 100 countries around the world.
The membership model revolves around four key areas of activity, including:
- Awareness, advocacy and action
- Leadership skills and career advancement
- Personal development
- Supportive networking and lasting friendships
Membership in BPW offers many opportunities and many benefits to working women. Their advocacy work gives women a chance to be involved in the key issues that affect women in Canada and around the world. Clubs provide a “training ground” for developing leadership skills in a safe and supportive environment, allowing members to build networks and create lasting friendships. Members participate in a range of activities that lead to personal and professional development and career advancement.
A member of a local club is automatically also a member of the district, national, provincial, and international organizations. She is entitled to attend all events, including national and international conferences. She is also entitled to be part of BPW Canada’s delegation to the Commission on the Status of Women at the United Nations in New York each February.
