History

FIRST ENGLISH SPEAKING BPW CLUB IN SWITZERLAND

LAUNCH OF BPW LAKE GENEVA

Founded in January 2010, BPW Lake Geneva is the 40th BPW Club in Switzerland and is the first English speaking BPW Club in this country.

Launched by 14 founding members and in the presence of representatives of BPW International, BPW Europe and BPW Switzerland, more than 70 women attended the kick-off meeting in Chavannes-de-Bogis. By the end of the successful first year of BPW Lake Geneva, our small but growing club had 25 members. 

Our club is affiliated to the larger BPW structure and our membership base has grown to more than 50. 

BPW Switzerland has around 2,300 members and BPW International has 30,000 members from all continents.
