HISTORY OF BWN

The first organizational meeting was held in June 1989. At that meeting the Certificate of Incorporation was presented and thus the formation of the Business Women's Network was launched.
  
For all these years the BWN has been the premier women's networking group. The organization has held events like the "Celebration of Women" and many fund raising functions. Whereas, the groups main purpose is to network amongst members and the community, the undertaking of raising money to award scholarships to local business students has become a prime focus, also.
