A Message From Our President

Are you a woman looking for a dynamic, forward thinking group to be a part of?

Experienced. Empowered. Motivated.

Business & Professional Women's Club of Saskatoon are representative of the dynamic and everchanging world we live in. Our group includes women from a broad range of occupations and professions. We also welcome women in transition, who are perhaps exiting or returning to their careers.

We meet monthly to network, explore topics that are of importance to women today and to inspire and learn from each other. Our dinner meetings include time to network and reconnect with one another, a business meeting and stimulating speakers.

We have three major events each year:

  • International Women's Day Dinner & Awards (March)
  • Silent Auction (December)
  • Leadership Luncheon (September)

With the support of our members and the community who attend our events, we are able to develop the professional and leadership ptential for women. If you would like more information please contact me at president@bpwsaskatoon.com.
