BPW/Oldham County

BPW/Oldham County	BPW/Oldham County was founded in 1990 by women in the county who saw a need for a network of support and information for all working women in Oldham County. Our mission statement is: To empower women through professional and personal growth while enriching Oldham County by supporting and enabling organizations to embrace our community's needs. Meetings are held monthly, usually in Crestwood or LaGrange, KY, on topics of interest to working women. Topics address the pressures women face at work and in their personal lives such as stress management, political, environmental and educational issues. Our organization has funded local programs and fund raisers which support women and families in need such as the HOST House in LaGrange, The Apple Patch Community, the Oldham County YMCA, the Center for Women in Crisis, and the Oldham County Arts Center. Our membership has doubled over the past year. We invite you to attend our next meeting, visitors are always welcome!
