Professional Knowledge and Abilities
Successful Women in Business around the world are letting people know that it is not “A Man’s World” any longer. The professional association that interested me is American Business Women’s Association. The American Business Women’s Association (ABWA) is a national organization, founded in 1949, by a Kansas City, Missouri businessman – Mr. Hilary Bufton, Jr. During World War II, women were heavily into the workforce. Wemen gained tremendous business knowledge during this time. Mr. Bufton recognized the positive impact women had on the Economy post World War II and believed all women deserved equal business opportunities. Today, the ABWA National Headquarters continues to operate out of Kansas City and continues its mission through local chapters’ nationwide, changing women’s lives one woman at a time (American Business Women's Association, 1975). More women are in charge of large Cooperation’s or own their own business than ever before.
The ABWA Mission, is to bring together businesswomen of diverse occupations and backgrounds to provide opportunities for them to help themselves and others grow personally and professionally through leadership; education, networking support, and national recognition ABWA (2010) website.
Every woman has a skill, ability or advice that can benefit other woman. Being a part of this organization will help increase my professional knowledge and ability, by networking, education, and Leadership opportunity. I will also be able to network with women all around the world. Learning from others can increase my knowledge in my field and give me the confidence to be an effective businesswoman. I will also be able to share some of my skills and advice in hopes that I can help and guide women who are looking for that support and motivation that is needed to be successful.
