ABWA
Mission

To bring together business women of diverse occupations and provide opportunities for them help themselves and others grow personally and professionally, through leadership, education, networking support, and national recognition.

Changing Women's Lives... One Woman at a Time.

The American Business Women’s Association (ABWA) was created because women need an environment where they can come together and pursue opportunity.

 

ABWA provides the framework so you can focus and define your aspirations, with the support of others. The Baton Rouge chapter, La Capitale,  holds monthly meetings and other events for networking and professional development for Baton Rouge businesswomen.
