Stay informed and participate in the process through the Advocacy section of the BPW Foundation website,www.bpwfoundation.org. Learn how to be a successful advocate and lobby your representatives at the annual Policy & Action conference. Keep the workingwoman’s agenda – equal pay, work-life balance, better child and elder care, strong social security pension programs and workplace equity – at the forefront. Through MWM BPW membership and its affiliation with BPW Foundation you have a powerful voice on small business issues, with corporations and on Capitol Hill, without doing all the legwork yourself
