Join Business Women of Central MN Today!  Business Women of Central Minnesota (BWCM) fosters the success of workingwomen by providing career advancement resources, worklife strategies, and personal and professional networking connections.  Most of our current members are working in business, and include fields of legal, printing, marketing, finance, social services, and entrepreneurship.


We create social opportunities that help develop friendships and networks, which are created at our monthly meetings, Coffee Club gatherings, and other events that take place throughout the year. 

 

Academic scholarships are awarded annually from our Scholarship Fund to non-traditional female students in the Central Minnesota area who are pursuing post secondary certificates or degrees in a business or professional field. 

 

Mark your calendar for our upcoming event, "An Evening in the Chef's Kitchen" on August 16, at Fairview Gardens.   It's a fun evening that includes music, food education, food samples and desserts, and a demonstration on gardening from Chanda Gebhardt, the owner of Fairview Gardens.  The proceeds from this event provide funding for our scholarships and other organizations who help women and children.  Hope to see you there!
