active in the political arena.

of our membership, which spans all occupations and includes retired members,
provides a great way to make personal and professional connections!
Involved
in the community...
Berea BPW supports many projects that directly assist women and that have
a positive impact in the community. For example, Berea BPW is a regular
benefactor of local women's shelters. Additionally, the members support
fund raising activities every year to sponsor scholarships for non-traditional
women students returning to school. The community is enhanced by Berea
BPW's annual support of the Berea Arts Festival.
Also, Berea BPW encourages active participation in legislative issues
by sponsoring political awareness events and promoting political involvement
by our members.
The results of Berea BPW's commitment to women's issues and to the community
are far reaching and important to our mission as an organization.
