Business & Professional Women’s Club of Lehigh Valley: ANNUAL NIKE AWARD RECIPIENT DINNER

To honor the contributions of working women and employers who support working women and their families, Business and Professional Women’s Foundation celebrates National Business Women’s Week® (NBWW) during the third week of October. National Business Women’s Week® provides an opportunity to call attention to women entrepreneurs, facilitate discussions on the needs of working women, share information about successful workplace policies, and raise awareness of the resources available for working women in their communities.

Please join us on Monday, October 21, 2013 to honor a local business woman in the Lehigh Valley. The celebration of National Business Women’s Week® has helped to promote leadership roles for women and to increase opportunities for their advancement professionally and personally. Our annual Nike Award recognizes the accomplishments of a local Lehigh Valley woman each year. We invite you to join us to celebrate not only the recipient’s accomplishments but all of the working women in the Lehigh Valley. Need more information?
