More about this month's featured partner.... ABWA...  It's incredible to realize that it all began more than 50 years ago, when the term "business woman" was an oddity and an association dedicated to advancing women's careers was simply unheard of. Today, the American Business Women's Association spans the nation as the world's most diverse professional organization for women. Tens of thousands of members gather throughout the country, united by a common goal - to support each other in professional development and career advancement. Discover more information on ABWA- it's history, it's mission, it's future- online at www.abwa.org.
