Young Careerist Region Competition Change:

The 2012-2013 Executive Committee, BPW/OH, voted to allow each Young Careerist candidate who participates on the local level to advance to the region level for competition.
As a result, effective 2012, – A local is not limited to one Young Careerist candidate to participate in the Region Young Careerist Competition.  Each local may send more than one Young Careerist candidate to their Region competition; however, in order to compete at the Region level, each candidate must be a BPW member.
Since each local may send more than one Young Careerist candidate to participate at the Region level, the Young Careerist Competitions are at the Region and State levels.
The winner of the Region Competition will represent their Region at the BPW/OH Young Careerist Competition which is held in the Spring.

YOUNG CAREERIST PROGRAM WAS STARTED IN 1964
Young Careerist Program

The Virginia Allen Young Careerist program is a specialty program developed to help young professional women polish their skills for leadership and presentations. The purpose of the program is to recognize the achievements of young working women, between the ages of 21 and 35, and to introduce them to the many diverse opportunities available with a membership in Business and Professional Women. Participation in this program will enhance written and oral communication skills, both of which are critical to any profession. In addition, it is an opportunity to meet and network with other young women in the same stage of their careers.

All materials on now on website (see above).  Be sure to download everything.  Candidates must be persons persons between the ages of 21 and 35 who have worked FT for at least one full year; living, working, training or attending school; and support the goals and objectives of the BPW/Ohio legislative platform.  This is a great program for “young careerists” to become aware of BPW, women’s rights, and women’s history.  Please contact Young Careerist Chair, Linda Miller, for more information.
