A Professional Women’s Group Starts in North Lakes
0BPW, or Business and Professional Women, are a non-profit organisation which help promote equality, networking and skill development among women.
Once it only had one group in Queensland, but BPW is now expanding and are chartering a group in North Lakes, with nine out of the 15 places needed already snapped up.
Goals of the BPW group include:
- Equality
- Education
- Economic empowerment – including international programs
- Personal development
- Political awareness
Astrid Kuenne, President of the Steering Committee, has been with the group for 10 years. She says their aim is to help women grow at any stage of their life — from a youthful 16 years to working Mums to older women — while fighting generally for women’s rights in society and within politics.
There are a few planned events coming up, mainly at Coffee Club Mango Hill. Start by Liking the BPW Page on Facebook and saying hello… https://www.facebook.com/BPWNorthLakes/.
