ABW Day Celebrated!

Wednesday, the Sheauga Charter Chapter of the American Business Women's Association celebrated ABW Day at the Berkshire Hills Country Club.  Five members and nine guests were present. 

Sandy Zikursh did a one-woman show called "Mrs. Noah" about life and the ark.  It was humorous and quite entertaining.  Judy Torrey, ABWA member from the Dayton area was our speaker.  She told of the benefits ABWA has to offer.  Judy is running for District V Vice President at the upcoming National Leadership Conference of ABWA.

The next chapter meeting is October 6, 5:30pm at Dino's Restaurant (306 and I-90).  Cost of the meal is $10.  RSVP to Donna [440-666-4160] or Jan [440-285-9292].

ABW Day September 22

ABW Day

On September 22, 1949, Hilary A. Bufton, Jr., a Kansas City, Missouri businessman, founded the American Business Women's Association to support business women by helping them reach their educational and career goals. ABWA has dedicated more than 60 years to women's education and provided workplace skills and career-development training for members.



In 1983, a joint Congressional resolution signed by President Ronald Reagan proclaimed Sept. 22nd, the date of the Association’s founding, as American Business Women’s Day. The proclamation set aside this date to annually recognize the achievements not only of ABWA members but also the millions of employed women in the United States.
