Welcome to the Montana State Federation of Business & Professional Women’s Organization.  I am honored to be serving as President.  As working women, and all women are working women, we need to unite and work together.

 

Our members represent many different types of employment throughout Montana: bankers, accountants, retail business owners, architects, executive directors, chefs, judges, attorneys, coaches, mortgage bankers, doctors, nurses, escrow officers, marketing directors, media representatives, politicians, insurance agents, employment agencies, graphic artists, financial consultants, realtors, and many others. Many of our members are just starting families, many are still raising theirs, and some of us are now retired or enjoying the days of being grandparents.  No matter where are you are in your life or career, NOW is the time to join Business & Professional Women’s Organization.
