ABWA is a national association with more than 1600 Chapters and over 90,000 members in six districts across the United States. Mission The mission of the American Business Women's Association (ABWA) is to bring together business women of diverse occupations and to provide opportunities for them to help themselves and others to grow personally and professionally through leadership, education, networking support and national recognition. History Business training and education are two of today's hottest issues-important issues that Hilary A. Bufton Jr., a Kansas City, Mo., businessman, realized in 1949. Mr. Bufton recognized the positive economic impact working women could have and the need for a support organization to help them reach their educational and career goals.	[Visit the Official Homepage] ABWA has dedicated more than 40 years to women's education and provided workplace skills and career-development training for more than 545,000 members. It has also awarded more than $43 million in women's scholarships.
