WHO WE ARE

Connecting Women. Creating Opportunities. Making a Difference.

Founded in 1972, the Singapore Business and Professional Women's Association (SBPWA) began when a group of working women came together to support one another and advance opportunities for women in business and the professions.

Our founding President, Ms Caroline Lam, envisioned bringing women's organisations together to strengthen their collective voice. SBPWA has been a member of the Singapore Council of Women's Organisations (SCWO) since the early 1970s.

Today, SBPWA continues to bring together women from diverse professional backgrounds and different stages of their careers and lives.

We provide a platform for meaningful connections, professional development, knowledge sharing and collaboration, both locally and internationally.

Beyond networking, we believe in using our collective experience, skills and networks to support education, empower other women and contribute to meaningful causes in our community.

Connect • Grow • Empower

Together, we create opportunities for women to thrive and make a positive difference.

OUR VISION & MISSION

To be a strong, connected and empowering community where women thrive in business, their professions and society.

To promote the interests of business and professional women by fostering meaningful connections, professional growth, leadership, education and equal opportunities.

We are committed to empowering women to realise their full potential, uphold high professional standards, and use their skills, knowledge and experience to support one another and contribute positively to society, locally and internationally.



OUR VALUES

PROFESSIONAL EXCELLENCE

Upholding high standards in business and the professions, while encouraging continuous improvement, integrity and professional growth.


Empowerment through Education

Promoting lifelong learning, skills development and opportunities for women and girls to realise their potential, while encouraging them to use their knowledge and experience to make a positive difference in society.


Equality and Inclusion

Advancing equal opportunities and supporting women from diverse backgrounds to thrive in business, their professions and society.

Building meaningful connections, fostering cooperation and mutual support, and encouraging shared contributions to the community, locally and internationally.




OUR COMMUNITY

Professionals, Leaders, Friends

SBPWA brings together women from diverse business and professional backgrounds, across different career and life stages, creating a community built on meaningful connections, shared experiences and mutual support.

Through networking events, programmes, workshops and community initiatives, members have opportunities to learn, collaborate, share their expertise and grow together.

Beyond professional connections, we encourage members to support one another, mentor the next generation and contribute to meaningful causes that make a positive difference in society.

More than a professional network, SBPWA is a community where friendships grow, opportunities emerge and women empower one another.
