Administrative history
The Business and Professional Women's Club of British Columbia and Yukon was formally established in 1948 and held its first meeting in Vancouver, B.C. on October 10, 1948. The mission of the clubs was to achieve a just and equal status of women in all levels and areas of society where decisions are taken in true partnership with men, based on mutual respect, for a more balanced and peaceful world.
The clubs develop the professional and leadership potential of women in BC and the Yukon through education, awareness, advocacy and mentoring within a supportive network. They are member clubs of the Business and Professional Women's Clubs of Canada, which in turn is part of the International Federation of Business and Professional Women, with clubs in more than 100 countries around the world.
The Business and Professional Women's Clubs of British Columbia and Yukon has an elected executive, board of directors, annual general meetings and annual conferences. Chapters in BC have included Abbotsford, Coquitlam, Kamloops, Mission, Penticton, Oak Bay, Richmond and Victoria.
