Local Organizations
The Florida Federation of Business and Professional Women consists of 13 chapters called local organizations. Each local organization has its own officers and board of directors. Membership in a local organization includes membership in the BPW state federation. If there is not a BPW local organization in your area, you may join as a member-at-large
