When women get together, amazing things can happen. And that's just what the American Business Women's Association is all about - women joining forces to further themselves both professionally and personally to amazing proportions.
Professional Development
Knowledge is power. And businesswomen need a resource they can turn to for information about a wide variety of topics. They also need to know how to use that information to benefit themselves or their employers.
Networking
Creating a network of business-savvy professionals is one of the skill sets women need to get ahead. Plus, when you join an ABWA chapter or network, you automatically become a member of a ready-made professional network!
Recognition
By its very nature, recognition is loaded with positive reinforcement. It is an essential component of career development – whether the recognition is on the job or through your professional association.
With ABWA, you can earn that resume-enhancing pat on the back in several ways.
* Each year, local chapters and networks honor members who make significant accomplishments in education, leadership, and professional and civic activities.
* The Associations also offers a national recognition program with the Top Ten Business Women of ABWA program.
* If you aspire to a leadership role, all members in good standing are eligible to run for local or national office. Nothing is more impressive on a resume than a successful history as an elected representative. Click here to see pictures from ABWA National Conference held in Kentucky in 2008.
