ABWA: Cities by the Bay Chapter

About us

Cities by the Bay Chapter is a business league of the American Business Women Association and it was chartered on October 17, 1987, by local members and members of National Headquarters. The Chapter was named after the location of members throughout the bay area cities.

 

Our membership is diverse in age, industry and career levels. They are executive officers, hold administrative and management positions and work as real estate sales experts, teachers, professional and technical sales experts.

 

Networking opportunities are just one part of our meetings. We offer professional development opportunities through monthly speakers. You can also develop your leadership and technical skills by working as an officer, committee member or chair/co-chair. Serving helps you to demonstrate leadership and team-building skills that will enable and enhance you at your workplace or in your own business.

 

Cities by the Bay Chapter was a sponsoring chapter of the 2001 San Francisco Spring conference with an attendance of 600 and a Hostess chapter for the 2006 National Conference in Anaheim, California with an attendance of 950.  Cities by the Bay Chapter has received multiple Best Practices Awards.

 

Local Chapter dues are $45 per year. To be eligible to vote in the May officers’ election, you must pay your dues before May 1st. For more details, please check your Members Handbook for the Chapter Standing Rules.
