Virginia Allan Young Careerist
Program
The Virginia Allan Young Careerist Program
(Young Careerist) recognizes the accomplishments
of young, upcoming leaders and provides
them with professional development skills
and opportunities.
Established in 1964, the Young Careerist
program involves a competitive selection
process within local organizations, districts/regions
and 54 state federations. This results in
the selection of a Young Careerist to represent
each state federation at the BPW USA annual
National Conference. Candidates are judged
in the following areas: written and biographical
information, judges' interview, their ability
to help others achieve, group interaction
and prepared speeches on specific topics.
The winner of the national competition will
serve as the National Representative for
BPW USA and may attend functions in their
official capacity.
Young Careerists benefit from opportunities
for personal and professional development,
for learning about the issues of concern
to working women and for educational programs
and visibility.
