2009-2010 BPW/ME-PROGRESSING TO THE FUTURE Maine Business and Professional Women is a group of women organized to help working women and their families. We are associated with Business & Professional Women’s Foundation but we decide locally how we will help working women. We are a member of the Coalition for Maine Women. Through the BPW Foundation we currently have a program for young career women, one for helping all career women move forward in their profession, and one for women veterans. We also provide networking opportunities both at our local organizations and statewide. We give scholarships, not only to high school gradates going on to further education but to women who are in college or returning to school, through our local organizations as well as through our sister organization, Maine Business and Professional Women’s Futurama Foundation. Each year we name a Woman of the Year who is outstanding in her work and/or in helping other women and families. Currently we have local organizations in Our annual convention, being held in Ellsworth June 11, 2010 through June 13, 2010, is open to all members. This year we will provide an opportunity for members with their own businesses to showcase their products and/or services either with an exhibit or a brief talk to the membership. We are always looking for women who are interested in helping working women and families. For further information on joining please contact one of the local presidents under the Organization tab. If there is no group in your area you can contact either of the co-presidents also listed under the Organization tab for further information and possibly starting a local group.
