About Chapter

BPW Northwest Metro members are strong advocates of BPW Colorado's legislative agenda and very active in their local communities of Arvada and Westminster. The chapter meets once per month on the first Wednesday, September through May, to achieve personal and professional goals through programs, community involvement, and friendships. BPW Northwest Metro's annual Woman of the Year is a popular event in the area and has featured local elected officials as recipients of the award and as keynote speakers.

History of Chapter

The BPW Northwest Metro chapter was founded on September 17, 1956. Although it has gone through several name changes (Arvada BPW, Arvada-Northwest BPW, and Northwest Metro BPW), our mission has always remained the same:

To promote personal development, economic self-sufficiency, community awareness, and legislative support for all women.

Members of the chapter have included officers of BPW at both the state and national level, as well as city councilors and state legislators. The chapter's current 1st Vice President, former Senator Evie Hudak, received the BPW Lifetime Achievement at the recent BPW Colorado state convention, for her participation in the state organization over the last 25 years.
