“I think BPW membership is a great way of meeting like-minded women in enjoyable circumstances whether it's having fun networking or attending interesting talks. I'm also happy to know my membership fee goes towards bursaries awarded each year to young women majoring in non-traditional fields of study”.

“As a newcomer to Hong Kong, I joined BPW because I was searching for an organisation to use my experience with social and political activism in the US on issues affecting women in Hong Kong.   I am very happy to be involved in BPW's Public Affairs Committee.  I am also a member of the Mentoring Program”.

“ ‘A fish out of water’ would best describe my situation when I came to live in Hong Kong. Thankfully, I found HKABPW soon after and there has been much learning and growing, both professionally and personally, in a warm and friendly environment”.

“I was looking for a support group to guide me in my career. I am new to Hong Kong and the Mentoring Program drew me in because I was looking for guidance not only on career decisions but in life choices as well.  In the events and meetings, I get lots of inspiration to learn and do things I have not tried. It's really a dynamic organization where women help other women and I'm proud to be a part of it”.

“HKABPW brings tremendously valuable opportunities of meeting high-caliber women from various nationalities and backgrounds. This is a 'quality network'.
We share our various issues; we can coach or be coached with actionable advice whatever the context: business, social or personal”.

“I joined HKABPW because it provides me with a platform to develop personal networks, make new friends and understand different cultures.  Through it, I am able to make contributions to society and use my skills and intelligence for the benefit of, not just myself, but others”.

Senior Vice President, IPAC

“I joined HKABPW to become a member of a worldwide organization which supports women to reach their full potential.  I have benefited in so many ways on a personal level  - meeting and exchanging views with some of the most positive and vibrant women of our community.

I have been delighted to have supported this most worthwhile organization as part of the Fund Raising team for 2005 and as Vice President and Membership Convenor in 2006. I urge women to join HKABPW and gain not only support from true professionals but network with the best of Hong Kong’s women’s business world”.

My dear friend Janet Spence introduced me to the HKABPW a few years ago. I was very impressed with the existing membership, the interesting programs and the commitment to women’s causes and interests. I also find it a wonderful way to network and make new friends.

I find HKABPW always a great forum to meet business executives and professionals from other industries.  Very often events are done in a very relaxed manner, be it a speaker's session, social mixer or the ExCo meetings, that I look forward to going.  Through HKABPW we get to serve our community and to coach the younger ladies in society - this really provides the balance that I look for in joining a business association.

“I moved to Hong Kong from Vietnam late last fall.  My office is in the New Territories and find it difficult to meet people so I decided to join HKABPW as I think it is a great way to meet other business women.  There’s a lot of great experiences to be shared among its diverse membership.

I have been to a BPW gathering with a speaker talking about branding and I found it very interesting. I can learn things at the events of the Association.”
