History
of the Wichita Falls
Business and Professional Women’s Organization:
On May 1, 1976, thirteen women met in the home of
Carolyn Gary for the organizational meeting of a daytime
Business and Professional Women’s Organization. The
new club was formed from the Wichita Falls Club which
met in the evening. It was known as the "noon time"
BPW Club and was given the name of Metropolitan Business
and Professional Women. New officers were elected on
June 9, 1976, from a total of 18 charter members. Our
Charter President was Carolyn Gary. The members elected
to meet on the 2nd and 4th Wednesday of each month at
the Wichita Club from 1:00 to 2:00 p.m. All these preliminary
decisions led up to the moment when Metropolitan officially
received its charter from State BPW officials in an
impressive charter ceremony and officer installation
banquet on Friday evening, September 22, 1976!
From
this beginning, our club has grown to over 150 members.
We may have changed our name, meeting day, and time,
but the overall focus of our organization remains the
same. We are still in the business of "Women
Helping Women."
