The Association of Business and Professional Women (ABPW) was founded in the Bay Area in 1981. The organization is dedicated to helping women business owners and operators grow. Members have the opportunity to network with other business women, discuss issues in the work place, and share marketing and business development ideas. The organization continues to thrive with over 58 members with significant economic, educational, and civic impact on the community.

ABPW members attend a breakfast meeting the first Thursday of every month. Some meetings are business meetings and closed to guests. However, most meetings are open to guests and potential members. Each month there is an interesting program or dynamic speaker that is thought provoking, informative and educational.

You are welcome to visit as a guest of a current member!
