Community to Celebrate 75^th National Business Women’s Week™

Bozeman Business and Professional Women Declares

National Business Women's Week™, October 20-24, 2003

Bozeman, Montana - BPW/Bozeman Chapter and Business and Professional Women/USA announces the 75^th annual National Business Women's Week™ (NBWW) October 20-24, 2003. NBWW offers communities, companies and organizations an opportunity to celebrate and acknowledge the contributions of working women. It also offers a chance for local BPW organizations across the country to recognize companies and individuals that have made strides toward improving workingwomen's lives in their communities.

As a part of the National Business Women’s Week, the local Bozeman Chapter holds an annual sponsorship drive, asking local businesses to show their support of working women in the Gallatin Valley.  In turn, businesses are recognized in a newspaper ad, so that the Bozeman area can patronize these companies.  Sponsorship goes to support the activities of Bozeman BPW through out the year, such as professional recognition, scholarships, networking opportunities, and much more.  If you or your business would like to contribute to this event, please call the NBWW chair, Kathy Hanpa at 587-8888.

The Bozeman BPW Chapter meets every 1^st and 3^rd Wednesday at noon at the Bozeman Comfort Inn’s Conference Center.  Guests are always welcome and encouraged to attend.   Lunch is available for $8 for members and $9 for guests.  Speakers present on various topics to encourage and educate women in the region. The group offers networking opportunities for your business and a place to enjoy the company of other professional women.  If interested in learning more call Deb McIsaac at 586-7422.
