Our Membership Invitation
Since 1919 when Business and Professional Women was formed in St. Louis, Missouri, members have always made their collective voices heard. As early advocates for equity in the workplace for all women, we used our voices and power to gain rights and overturn practices that discriminated against working women Reorganized in 2009 as Business Women of Missouri, members continue to make our collective voices heard on a variety of important issues that affect the prosperity and future of working women.
