            Founded in 1919, Business and Professional Women is the oldest and largest organization of working women in this country.  BPW/North Sarasota was chartered in September 1972 by a group of women who wanted to help change the conditions of working women in Sarasota and Manatee Counties.  Anne Weatherington was the Charter President and for the past 48 years, BPW/North Sarasota has worked to provide members with professional development programs, networking, participation in grassroots activism and opportunities to support scholarships for disadvantaged women.
