Our mission is to achieve equity for all women in the workplace through advocacy, education, and information.
Hundreds of Arkansas working women from across the state are members of Arkansas BPW! We help women achieve professional and personal goals through programs, workshops, networking, and friendships. All is achieved through monthly meetings and other sponsored activities. Each Arkansas BPW organization creates its own unique agenda, but all have the same objectives.
It is our hope that BPW will come to mean as much to you as it does to each and every one of our members. The dream, born nationally in 1919, has become a reality for over 80 years. Through the years BPW has worked on legislative platforms such as the Equal Rights Amendment (formally endorsed by BPW at the 1937 Atlantic City Convention and not passed in Congress until 1972). And we continue to work state by state to ratify the ERA. We are a non-partisan organization. All laws passed have a lasting effect on our lives today and in the future, and we take part in the legislative issues which concern us.
