Membership
Would you like to be part of a dynamic, diverse, high-profile organisation at the cutting edge of issues facing women in business? The BWA gives a voice to all women in business, inspiring them to dream big, personally and professionally.
The Businesswomen’s Association of South Africa has played an active and key role in inspiring, connecting and developing women in South Africa for almost 40 years. Our events, programmes and workshops are a reflection of the powerful change that can occur when we work together for a common goal – to lift, grow and help others.
In a globalised and rapidly changing business environment, we are constantly looking at how we can add more value to our members by further enhancing our development, training and capacity building programmes and to ensure we play a more instrumental advocacy role in terms of driving gender inclusivity – thereby contributing to 3 pillars important to us – transformation, nation building and socio-economic growth.
