Have you ever wondered how the ABWA Homestead Charter Chapter began?

Our story is rooted in a larger movement. In the 1940s, working women were forging new paths and reshaping the business world. Recognizing their potential, Hillary A. Bufton Jr. founded the American Business Women’s Association in 1949 to support and empower women in their careers. For over 76 years, ABWA has remained dedicated to education, professional development, and workplace skills. September 22 is celebrated as American Business Women’s Day—recognized by Congress and proclaimed by Ronald Reagan—with chapters nationwide honoring this mission.

That vision became the American Business Women’s Association (ABWA).
For more than 75 years, ABWA has continued to empower women through leadership development, education, and a strong national network. The impact is both meaningful and measurable:
💫 More than $18 million invested in scholarships and education for women
💫 Over 1,000 meetings hosted annually across communities nationwide
💫 A legacy of building leaders, fostering connection, and inspiring ambition

But beyond the numbers, ABWA is about something deeper—a community where women show up for one another, share knowledge, and create opportunities together.

Locally, Inspired by that vision, Janice Kerley (formerly Janice Johnson) dreamed of bringing ABWA to Homestead. With the support of the Hurricane Chapter in Miami, that dream became reality. It began with a simple tea on August 4, 1977, welcoming local businesswomen, and just days later—on August 8—the Homestead Charter Chapter was officially installed.

From a small gathering to a lasting legacy, our chapter continues to empower, connect, and uplift women in our community—carrying forward a vision that started decades ago. 💙
