About Us
              
 
Networking, Professional and Personal Development
Business Women of Central Minnesota (BWCM) fosters the success of workingwomen by providing career advancement resources, worklife strategies, and personal and professional networking connections.  Most of our current members are working in business, and include fields of legal, printing, marketing, finance, social services, and entrepreneurship. 
 
We further our mission through fund raising efforts that support local organizations such as Anna Marie's, Girl Scouts, and Child Care Choices.  We create social opportunities that help develop friendships and networks, which are created at our monthly meetings, Coffee Club gatherings, and other events that take place throughout the year.  Joining Business Women of Central Minnesota automatically makes you a member of the State organization.  Minnesota Business Women also holds workshops and networking opportunities for its members.  See our membership page if you are interested in becoming a member of Business Women of Central Minnesota.  Join Business Women of Central MN Today!
 
Business Women of Central Minnesota is a unique organization that not only supports issues affecting workingwomen through membership activities and programs, but also through supporting non-traditional students with scholarships.  BWCM has established an annual Scholarship Fund from which we award academic scholarships to non-traditional students in the Central Minnesota area who are pursuing post secondary certificates or degrees in a business or professional field.  Go to Scholarships for additional information.            
 
Mission Statement:  Business Women of Central Minnesota focuses on personal and professional growth to benefit women at every stage of their careers.
