This trophy is presented at conference each year
to the Club that has been the most effective in marketing BPW
in an activity they have completed in the current year. The way
the activity is presented to the Judges is also taken into account.
Gisborne marketed their Club throughout the year
in conjunction with their 50th birthday holding three very successful
events. Each event had its own organising committee which spread
the work load and they used the opportunity to encourage younger
members to take an active role in the celebrations.

Many BPW clubs throughout NZ are involved
with their community . The Community Achievement Award was first
presented in 2003 to acknowledge the valuable part BPW Clubs play
in their communities.
Auckland entered their 'Friendship and Cooking'
Project. This project has been going for a number of years and
has evolved with time responding to the needs of the community
it serves, that is migrant and refugee women.

for YES In 2007 she was the co-convenor for the "Woman in
Business Expo" one of Gisborne's 3 events and worked very
closely with the Gisborne Herald to produce the 24 page supplement
