Past Presidents of BPW International
Since its founding in 1930, BPW International has been led by a distinguished succession of presidents who have shaped the organization’s direction and expanded its global impact. Each president has brought their unique vision and leadership to advance the professional development and empowerment of women worldwide.
The tradition of strong leadership began with our founder, Dr. Lena Madesin Phillips, who served as the first president and established the foundational principles that continue to guide BPW International today.
