Founded in 1949 by Hilary A. Bufton Jr., a Kansas City, Mo., businessman, ABWA has thousands of members in chapters and Express Networks nationwide. The organization provides business training and networking opportunities for women of diverse occupations and backgrounds. ABWA has dedicated more than half a century to women's education and provided workplace skills and career development training for more than 545,000 members.
On September 22, 1949, Mr. Bufton and three Kansas City businesswomen incorporated the American Business Women’s Association, and the American workforce was changed forever. The Association celebrated 60 years at the 2009 ABWA National Women's Leadership Conference, Sept. 24 - 26, at the Hyatt Regency Crown Center in Kansas City.
The Tomballl Charter Chapter began in July, 1994, when a small group of women met and decided to form a local chapter. The chapter chartered with 47 members. ABWA has been a part of the community through membership in the Chamber, parade participation, annual proclamations for American Business Women's Day, and actively participating in events across Tomball and Magnolia throughout the years.
