About ABWA...
Since its founding in 1949 by Hilary A. Bufton, Jr., a Missouri businessman, ABWA has made a
commitment to American working women - helping thousands of women fulfill their career
dreams and lead a better, more satisfying life. Mr. Bufton recognized the positive economic
impact working women could have and the need for a support organization to help reach their
educational and career goals.
Through seminars, self-development programs, community involvement, and leadership
training, ABWA provides opportunities for businesswomen to express their interest, achieve
their goals, and receive well-earned recognition.
