Who We Are

Welcome to Upper Keys Business and Professional Women (BPW). We are a nonprofit, nonpartisan, member-led organization open to all who support our mission of achieving equity for all working women.

As a local affiliate of BPW Florida, we come together for the benefit of our members and our community as a whole. For more than 50 years, Upper Keys BPW has made a tangible difference in the lives of working women and their families in the Upper Florida Keys.

We did it!

On October 16, 2024, we achieved our goal to raise $10,000 for the Upper Keys BPW "Give Hope a Home" campaign!

Thank you to the many BPW members and friends who contributed to this worthy cause. The funds will be used to create a business center at the new shelter being built for Middle and Upper Keys residents experiencing domestic abuse. The business center will provide essential resources to help survivors achieve independence. 

THANKS AGAIN TO ALL WHO DONATED!

Our Mission

The BPW mission is to achieve equity for all working women through advocacy, education and connections. 

We seek to empower the women in our community to reach their full potential. We accomplish this by creating opportunities for personal and professional growth, providing scholarships to adult women in support of their education and career advancement, and advocating for issues that matter to working women and their families. 

The National Federation of Business and Professional Women’s Clubs was founded in July 1919 and has a long history of notable achievements on behalf of women. Every working woman has benefited from the organization's efforts in education, scholarship, public policy, equal pay and lobbying for women's rights.
