About
BPW Tamaki was founded in 1967 and has enjoyed many notable successes over the years including actively lobbying for a range of bills from Matrimonial Property through to Prostitution Law Reform and Flexible Working Hours.
As a club we help women achieve professional and personal goals through programs, workshops, networking and friendships. This is achieved through monthly meetings and other sponsored activities.
In 2013, BPW Tamaki was very successful in obtaining three awards at Conference in Hawera. These awards were Club of the Year, The Anne Todd Bell Issues Awards and the Daphne Chapman Award was awarded to member Lorraine Cameron.
In 2014 at the Conference in Wellington Joan Bielby won the Daphne Chapman Award.
