There are hundreds of business organizations, each with a specific purpose or goal. There are so many reasons why one should consider becoming part of an organization she believes in.

MISSION:
To bring together businesswomen of diverse occupations and to provide opportunities for them to help themselves and others grow personally and professionally through leadership, education, networking support and national recognition.
Development:
Knowledge is power. And businesswomen need a resource they can turn to for information about a wide variety of topics. They also need to know how to use that information to benefit themselves or their employers. To this end, ABWA members can participate in the following professional development opportunities:
Leadership development programs
- ABWA-KU MBA Essentials
- ABWA-KU Management Certificate Series
- In-depth business skills training
- Continuing education certificate programs
- Tuition reimbursement for approved accredited classes
Networking:
Making contact with business-savvy professionals also puts women ahead. But networking is an art that many people have not perfected. That's why ABWA has made teaching its members this career-critical skill part of its mission. Plus, when you join an ABWA chapter or network, you automatically become a member of a ready-made professional network with unlimited potential for expanding your own network of contacts.
Recognition:
By its very nature, recognition is loaded with positive reinforcement. It is an essential component of effective development. Thus individual members are recognized for their efforts. Each year, in addition to national awards and recognition, local chapters and networks honor members who make significant accomplishments in education, leadership, and professional and civic activities.
Women in Business:
Women in Business , the Association's award-winning bimonthly national magazine, features informative articles covering a range of topics that are of interest to businesswomen and entrepreneurs. Previous articles have dealt with subjects such as career reinvention, Web site development, human resources management and tax relief for women business owners. Past topics also include how to motivate your employees, things to take into consideration when starting a business, and hints on how to balance a career with motherhood. Women in Business is a primary source of ABWA member information, providing updates on Association events and members' activities and accomplishments. The magazine also includes excerpts from today's powerful business books, which can be used to earn contact hours in the ABWA professional development program. Magazine subscription is free for ABWA members (annual dues include a one-year subscription).
