Welcome to the NFBPWC NYC Chapter!

The National Federation of Business and Professional Women’s Clubs develops the professional, business, and leadership potential of women. For over 100 years, we have worked to empower women. We ally through education, advocacy, mentoring, networking, skill-building, and economic empowerment programs and projects.

Our network exists in 110 countries over 5 continents through the national network NFBPWC-USA and the International Federation BPW International. The importance of our work is reflected in the fact that we hold a consultative role in the United Nations on various women's issues. We attend the yearly Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) at a UN Delegate level.
