The top three finalists for the BPW International Anthem will be played and voted on during the XXVI BPW International Congress in Mexico City, Mexico.

History of the Anthem

BPW International Anthem was composed by Professor Consuelo Amador de Rivera. It was originally composed as the National Anthem for BPW Mexico in 1984 with lyrics in Spanish. At the 21st BPW International Congress in Nagoya, Japan in 1993, a resolution was passed to adopt the anthem as the BPW International Anthem. The anthem was played at the 22nd BPW International Congress in Venice, Italy. Yet, most affiliates are not familiar with it. As a part of branding in the Organization Reform process, President Chonchanok Viravan decided to have this anthem re-mastered and redistributed. The first version, released at North America Regional Conference in Jamaica, February 2007 was re-mastered based on the old tape recording of the anthem. However, the anthem was revised with respect to the actual musical score after President Chonchanok met and received the musical score from Professor Consuelo Amador de Riviera in March 2007.

Relaunch BPW Anthem

One of the best kept secrets of BPW International is that we have BPW International Anthem! The anthem has been re-mastered and is available in CD format. Let’s start a tradition of playing the BPW International Anthem at the beginning of our BPW International events!
