Empowering Women Through Educational Scholarships

 

Today’s scholarship recipients are tomorrow’s leaders.  ABWA members give back by funding scholarships through the Stephen Bufton Memorial Educational Fund.  Since 1953, the educational fund has awarded more than 17 million dollars in scholarships.   Visit www.sbmef.org  for more information on scholarships for women.

Join Us For a Professional Development Meeting

 

The ABWA Western New York Charter Chapter meets at various locations throughout Erie and Niagara Counties, proudly supporting local businesses in our community. Meeting formats may vary—some meetings include a set registration fee, while others allow attendees to purchase their own food and beverages directly from the venue.

 

From September through June, we meet on the third Wednesday of each month for our Professional Development Meetings, where we feature businesswomen guest speakers who deliver engaging and educational presentations.

 

Our meetings are open to the public, and members are encouraged to bring a guest. Discounted pricing is available for early registration. Register today to experience how ABWA members connect, collaborate, and support one another—professionally and personally.
