Welcome
We are an organization founded on the principle of women helping women.
Our mission is for Uptown BPW to complement and enhance each of our members professional lives by providing thoughtful networking opportunities, volunteering in community-minded projects and recognition of accomplishments. Through our Community Projects programs, we support local area non-profit organizations and as part of our endeavor to equip women for success, we also provide scholarships for non-traditional women returning to school.
Upcoming Meetings and Events
We kicked off this year in a big new way! New for us, our Planning Party was held this summer at Greentree Country Club in the President's room where we all got a chance to share and learn, not just about BPW but, about each other. We are in an incredible and diverse group of ladies and this year we will be focusing on building professional and personal growth opportunities and expanding our ability to connect with each other on a deeper level.
For my theme this year I chose Courageous Leadership.
To lead with courage is not merely to take bold steps, but to do so with unflinching resolve, a sound ethical compass and a vision of success that appeals to the most reluctant of followers. We all know women like this, we are women like this, and my goal for BPW this year is to have every member embody this theme and the characteristics that support it which are vulnerability, empowerment and transparency. These are not mere add-ons to leadership; they form the bedrock of trust and respect essential for any successful organization.
This years Executive Board and Committee members are thrilled to see what this year has in store for us and we are excited to share it with all of you as we support our Scholarship Program, celebrate National Business Women's Week on October the 22nd honoring this year's recipient for Woman of Achievement, Krista Escamilla and learn more about how to be and grow as courageous leaders in every aspect of our lives.
Thank you for trusting me to be the 2024-25 Uptown BPW President.
