About BPW Internationally & Locally |
International History
After the establishment of the first clubs in the US in the early
1920's, small groups of women travelled to Europe between 1928-1930
seeking to arouse interest in an international organisation. In
August 1930, women from 16 countries gathered in Geneva and formed
the International Federation. Dr Lena Madesin-Phillips was elected
as the first International President.

BPW Tamaki was founded in 1967 and has enjoyed many notable successes over the years including actively lobbying for a range of bills, from Matrimonial Property through to Prostitution Law Reform and Flexible Working Hours. Several members are currently on BPW NZ's executive giving the club good insight into the work of BPW at national level.

Official Collect of Business & Professional Women
Keep us, from pettiness;
Let us be large in thought, in word, in deed.
Let us be done with fault-finding and leave off self-seeking.
May we put away all pretense and meet each other face to face -
without self-pity and without prejudice.
May we never be hasty in judgment and always generous.
Let us take time for all things;
Make us grow calm, serene, gentle.
Teach us to put into action our better impulses,
straight-forward and unafraid.
Grant that we may realize it is the little
things that create differences,
that in the big things of life we are at one.
And may we strive to touch and to know the great
common, human heart of us all, and,
let us not forget to be kind!
