Young BPW is the network for young women of 35 years and under who want to network, be inspired and get ahead!
Established in 1985 as a training and self-development program for young members of BPW, it is now an international network of hundreds of young women around the world.
2013-2016 Director of Young BPWERIN CHEW, a finalist for the Young BPWA Award in 2013, has been appointed as Director of YBPW (ad interim), effective March 2014. Update April 2015 from Director Erin ChewYoung BPW has been engaging young women across the country. As Director for Young BPW, I have had the pleasure in visiting a few clubs, including BPW Maitland, Central Coast, Sydney, Caboolture and Coffs Harbour to speak about Young BPW and to consult with the clubs about the Young BPW Program for 2015. Reflecting back, I have some fond memories in some of the activities and people I have met at some of the clubs I have visited which have inspired Young BPW to set some new ideas as well as revitalise some old initiatives. At BPW Coffs Harbour there are great linkages with the local high school, and as an annual event a selected group of women from senior year from Coffs Harbour High School are given the opportunity to attend the dinner at IWD Candle Lighting event. The women get to share their achievements and some of their aspirations. At YBPW this is a type of event we plan to have this year, where we will organise by region with some schools (where there are BPW clubs) to get some of the senior student girls together for them to meet an inspirational BPW member and for these girls to share their achievements and seek inspirational advice. |
