About Boulder BPW

Established in 1931, Boulder Business and Professional Women is a local membership organization. Our mission is to build full participation, equity, and economic self-sufficiency for working women. Together we are powerful: professionally, politically, and personally. BPW operates at the local, state and national level. Our state organization is Colorado Business Women (CBW). The national organization is Business and Professional Women's Foundation.

As a national organization Business and Professional Women (BPW) was founded in 1919. In January 2009, the membership organization merged with BPW Foundation. Boulder BPW members voted to continue the history, legacy, and advocacy through BPW Foundation.  BPW Foundation and CBW have been leaders in passing much of the landmark civil and women's rights legislation of our time at the national and state levels.

Boulder BPW membership is mostly comprised of individuals seeking to advance their personal and professional goals. We are a nonpartisan organization open to all women and men who wish to support and participate in our mission, get connected, and develop long lasting business and personal relationships.

BPW Foundation

The BPW Foundation, established in 1956, collects, conducts and analyzes research on issues affecting women in the workplace while providing financial assistance for women to further their education. The foundation, which has awarded over $5 million in scholarships, loans, and fellowships to some 7,000 women, raises money to educate women who need additional skills to advance in their careers or re-enter the job market, and for researching and disseminating information about women in the workforce. The foundation's Marguerite Rawalt Resource Center, one of the nation's first and most comprehensive libraries dedicated to working women's issues, serves as a reference source of information for members and over 200 other libraries across the country.

Formerly the National Federation of Business and Professional Women's Clubs of the United States of America (BPW/USA), that was founded in 1919, the Foundation promotes equity for all women in the workplace through advocacy, education and information. With more than 30,000 members in 1,500 local organizations represented in every congressional district in the country, BPW/Foundation includes among its members women and men of every age, race, religion, political party and socioeconomic background.
