The Kentucky Federation of Business and Professional Women is a state federation of Business and Professional Women/USA, a national organization that promotes equity for all women in the workplace through advocacy, education and information. As a part of BPW/USA, BPW/KY is a powerful network of workingwomen seeking to advance their career goals, earn higher salaries, build stronger business, achieve pay equity and equal opportunities, and establish rewarding careers. As all women gain earning power and spending power, they are reshaping U.S. consumer trends. And BPW members are on the leading edge of that trend.  BPW/KY means business for you!

The Kentucky federation is divided into 5 regions which provide an important link between the local organization and the state federation. The purposes of the regional meetings are to:

• Promote state and national programs

• Assist locals by increasing membership and retaining continuing members

• Organize new locals

• Conduct training workshops for local organization officers, chairs, and members

Locals in Kentucky

Local organizations are the basic units of the state federation and BPW/USA. The purpose of the local is to pursue the objectives of the Federation by promoting Federation programs and projects. Each local adopts its own bylaws, which must not conflict with the model local bylaws, state or national bylaws.

When you join BPW/KY, you become a part of an association that is dedicated to meeting the needs unique to workingwomen! Membership is open to all women and men who want to help further BPW’s commitment to helping women in the workplace.
