Step Up to Success with BPW

Call, Write or e-mail us

BPW/ St. Petersburg-Pinellas is proud to present "Stepping Stones to Personal and Professional Success," a two day seminar utilizing a nationally developed curriculum from BPW/USA. This program is for anyone wanting to develop their skills and improve their lives in order to achieve more success both personally and professionally. Nationally and locally recognized experts will take on a variety of topics with the working woman in mind.

A Real Value at $75!

Usually, a seminar of this caliber can cost $250, $500, or $750 for the two day, intensive program. As a non-profit, BPW/ St. Petersburg - Pinellas places a high priority on personal and professional development of both its members and the community as a whole. By leveraging a nationally presented curriculum and our own relationships with successful businesswomen, we are able to keep the cost to an affordable $75 for nonmembers and only $60 for any member of a BPW/USA local organization. But while the savings are impressive, get ready for a fast-paced, intense journey through the program that will leave you exhausted but ready to take that next step toward greater personal and professional success.

Conference Special for Non BPW Members

As an added incentive for the women of our community who do not know the tremendous benefits of being a member of Business and Professional Women, we are offering a $25 Rebate to any nonmember who joins a BPW local organization within 30 days of completeing the program.
