The BPW International Taskforce
believes strongly in what its membership has to
offer – the quality of women who belong
to BPW can make a significant difference and by
sharing our experiences with others, all of our
members can benefit.
The purpose of this website
is to give BPW members around the world examples
of what other BPWs are doing in terms of setting
up mentoring programs – which take on different
focuses – such as personal development,
career development and business mentoring.
This website provides a brief
overview of how mentoring is part of BPW programs
in over 20 BPWs around the world. Mentoring can
assist your BPW in increasing membership and we
have some materials and guidelines to start you
off. The materials on the website can suggest
to Associations, Clubs and Federations on how
to implement a mentoring program in your respective
country.
