Engage. Educate. Empower.
It is with great sadness that Business and Professional Women of Nevada County has made the difficult decision to disband because of dwindling membership. The Pandemic caused a major decrease in our membership and that, coupled with our aging group of active women in our community led to this decision. We realize that BPWNC has filled a need in Nevada County for eighty-four years and we are proud of our accomplishments. We have awarded nearly $100,000 in Scholarships and Awards (Delores “Dee” Eldridge Scholarship and Helga Rohl Encouragement Award) during the past 20 years. We have presented programs honoring local women of achievement and important women in history. We have hosted speakers and discussions on topics which affect women’s health and quality of life and the achievement of their career and educational goals. We know that our individual members will continue to contribute to our Nevada County communities, and we wish every member and scholarship recipient the very best. Thank you for your support of our Business and Professional Women of Nevada County. Ours has been eighty-four years of rich friendships, education, activism, altruism, laughter and fun.
With respect to our Education Fund which oversees the DDE Scholarship and the Helga Rohl Encouragement Award, we intend to continue to make these awards until our treasury is depleted. Both the DDE Scholarship and the HREA are 501C3, tax deductible funds and we look forward to receiving applications from qualified women.
