MESSAGE FROM PRESIDENT

On acquiring corporate status

松原理事長 On the 15th of September, 2010, BPW Japan started its new phase as a specified nonprofit organization.
BPW Japan has its 50 years of history. With its long and influential history, we decided to give our organization a corporate status in order for the members to work much harder on public-interest activities. On this occasion, we would like to assure our consciousness as a member of the organization with a solid social existence, and its sustainable will and purpose to be able to pass on to the next generations.
BPW Japan (Specified NPO) will :
  1. brainstorm members to be an enhanced professional and business person, and provide the knowledge and information not only with its members but with the society.
  2. try to make a society where there are no prospective women to cry for no places to work
  3. work to make a society without wage gap and difference in carrier advancement for women
  4. make a society without women to quit jobs because of marriage, child-raising, care-giving and so on, against their wills to carry on their carriers
  5. support young women’s motivation to pursue their wills nationally and globally
 We do not get quick results from our activities, but we know that it is important to make steady efforts. So it is inevitable for our clubs to carry on our consistent activities locally. Also, to make our clubs sustainable, we think that keeping a balanced age structure among members is very important.
In order to make all the women's future bright, and to make our society a dynamic one, we would like to contribute ourselves with a spirit of dedication.
Keeping our seniors with honorable sacrifice to blaze the trail in mind and carrying out our original intentions, BPW Japan will play its role effectively in response to the demands of the times for the women in the next generations.
Toshimi Matsubara, president of BPW Japan (Specified NPO)
