Today is American Business Women’s Day

September 22nd, 2008

September 22^nd is American Business Women’s Day - The first American Business Women’s Day (ABW Day) was celebrated in 1982. It is a national day for American to recognize the achievements of not only ABWA members but also the millions of employed women in the U. S. It’s observed on September 22, the anniversary of ABWA’s founding.

Host a women’s event and invite a local dignitary to speak to the group.  Ask your local mayor or city council (commission) to issue a proclamation declaring the day in your city. Take pictures and submit to the media with your name and contact information. A great way to start developing relationships with local government and the media.  Who know’s? They may even write a story about your small business!

My local chapter gets together with other chapters in our tri-county area and hosts a weekend event beginning with a cocktail reception on Friday night with workshops and a luncheon on Saturday in celebration of American Business Women.
