What We Do
BPW/WA is a non-profit that champions women's growth, from personal goals to political savvy. Through diverse membership, networking, and programs, we help women of all backgrounds achieve equity and leadership.
Rosalind Scott
BPW/WA President Message
BPW became the first organization created to focus on the issues of working women. Many things have changed since 1919. Not only for working women, but for society as well. Innovation thrives when we dare to challenge the norms and embrace novel perspectives. Our lives change when we ask the questions "What if?" and "What's next?" Voting rights, wage discrimination, workplace equity, women's mental health, work-life balance and a host of issues, ideas and solutions that BPW has assisted with in making our lives better begin with an idea.
As we gather in Wenatchee for our Annual Conference, let's grasp this moment to foster a mindset where every idea is valued, and every voice is heard for their contribution. Remember, it's through embracing change and embracing new ideas that we invigorate ourselves and chart a course towards a brighter tomorrow. Together, let's embark on this journey of transformation, knowing that our collective resilience and seasoned insights will propel us to success.
Warm regards,
Your State President

A BIG THANK YOU FOR ALL THAT SUPPORTED OUR AUCTION! We raised over 20K with your help.
What a great evening had by all; we are so thankful for everyone who made it to McMenamin's. We will get more pictures up but I wanted to highlight our beloved Irene Carter who is 99 years young and taking a photo with her daughter in our photo booth.
