Virginia Allan Young Careerist Program

The Virginia Allan Young Careerist Program recognizes the accomplishments of successful women or men and introduces them to the mission and vision of Business and Professional Women/USA (BPW/USA).

The program, begun in 1964, involves a competitive selection process within local organizations, districts/regions, and 53 state federations, resulting in the selection of a Young Careerist to represent each state federation at the BPW/USA annual conference. The winner of the national competition will serve as the National Representative for BPW/USA and may attend functions in her official capacity. To participate in the program, a Young Careerist must:

  • Be between the ages of 21 and 35
  • Have been employed with at least one year of full-time work experience in her/his career area
  • Support the goals and objectives of BPW/USA.
     

Young Careerists benefit from networking opportunities, opportunities for personal and professional development, opportunities to learn about the issues of concern to workingwomen, educational programs and visibility.
 

Candidates are judged in the following areas: written and biographical information, judges' interview, group interaction and prepared speeches on specific topics.
