What makes Bozeman Professional Women different from other networking groups?
Bozeman BPW held its first meeting on September 18, 1930 in the Baxter Hotel. The 25 charter members envisioned an organization that would elevate standards for women, promote business and professional activities, and encourage a spirit of cooperation, fellowship and friendship among members. Over 85 years later, our mission remains true to this original vision.
