Women Supporting Women 

The annual BFF Event was hosted by the Business and Professional Women of Englewood and Venice, on May 17th at the Plantation Golf and Country Club. This special event brought together women who have been inspired by other women for a night of fun and recognition. As so often we find in reflection, there are certain people who significantly contribute to our lives, whether it be on a professional, emotional or even on a spiritual level. This event was designed to highlight and honor those very women!  
Many thanks to the Shark Sisters for an amazing musical performance, and to Judi Pernal and Katie Malloy, BPWEV member and Realtor with Michael Saunders and Company, for taking the stage with her witty, comic performance, as well as the many sponsors and members for their support.

BPW is a grassroot organization developed to promote and advocate for women’s rights. Whether you are a business owner, an employee, student or retiree, BPW provides leadership through advocacy, education, and information within our communities on issues important to all working women.
