“MAKE WOMEN’S HISTORY” EVENT IN
WASHINGTON D.C.
Cyndy Friedland (of Manahawkin), State President of Business and Professional Women of New Jersey (BPWNJ), will attend the “Make Women’s History” Event sponsored by the Business and Professional Women USA Foundation (BPW Foundation). The event is being held at the United States Navy Memorial in Washington DC on March 18, 2014.
The BPW Foundation offers a free career development and mentoring program, “Joining Forces Mentoring Plus®”. This program is based on a “Working Women Helping Women Work®” model, to support the career transition of women veterans, military/veteran spouses and caregivers of wounded warriors.
The event will honor the vital contributions made by “Joining Forces Mentoring Plus Champions®” and will offer workshops on Tools and Resources for the Civilian Workplace and Social Media Strategies for Career Success. The day will conclude with a cocktail and networking awards reception.
BPW Foundation was the first foundation dedicated to conducting research and providing information solely about working women. Since then, the foundation has partnered with employers to create successful workplaces that embrace and practice diversity, equity and work-life balance convening employers, working women and policymakers to promote systemic workplace change.
Areas of research include women and non-traditional jobs, Gen Y women and women’s use and access to the internet. In 2007 BPW Foundation conducted the first research on women veteran’s transition to civilian careers and in 2010, hosted a National Summit, Joining Forces for Women Veterans to identify the challenges women veterans face. Through information gathered at the summit, the need for mentors was identified and in 2012 BPW Foundation launched Joining Forces for Women Veterans and Military Spouses Mentoring Plus a program recognized by the White House Joining Forces Military Family initiative. The mentoring program is built on the legacy of working women helping women work.
