Jackson Business & Professional Women

The Business and Professional Women's organization of Jackson warmly extends this invitation for you to join us. The membership is composed of a diverse and wonderfully talented group of business professionals. While the main objective is to bring attention to and promote improvement in the workplace for women, particularly pay equity, this group is very active in the community and works together on events and projects that dovetail with our promotion of women's issues. One of the most valuable benefits of membership is the opportunity to meet other professional women at signature events, conferences and programs sponsored by BPW throughout the year. Whether you are looking to exchange ideas, build business leads, or find peers in your field, BPW connections have proved invaluable. Our two signature events are the "National Business Women's Week" and "Equal Pay Day."

For National Business Women's Week, we present the "Brown Bag Lunches" event, held at the Jackson Madison County Library. Each day from noon until 1:00 pm, participants bring a lunch and listen to a different speaker each day on various topics of interest to women and their families. The event is open to the public at no charge.

One of our local, ongoing projects is to present a scholarship to non-traditional woman attending an institute of higher education in Madison County. Currently, our local organization awards a scholarship through a fund raising event called the "Ghost Walking Tour." This event introduces you to the historic ghosts that reside in the downtown Jackson area by individual narrators, giving a short personal history, with local actors and tour guide to lead you to each location. Another local, ongoing project is voter registration drives. During election years, we set up a table at Starbucks to assist those who have not yet registered to vote. This has proven quite useful to those who have just moved here or as a reminder to students or others to get registered.
