National Business Women’s Week® is a significant way to observe and raise awareness about women in businesses and women-owned businesses in Bozeman and across the state of Montana.  Since 1928, NBWW has honored the contributions of working women and employers who support working women and their families.

Please join us on Thursday, October 18, 5:30PM at The Rialto in Downtown Bozeman. Tickets are $25 each and three levels of sponsorship ($100-$1,000) are available now.

Since January of 2010, Dr. Waded Cruzado has served as the 12th President of Montana State University, and during that time she has significantly reshaped the face and future of the state’s first land-grant institution.

An articulate and inspirational speaker on the role of the public university, President Cruzado has become well-known for her understanding of the Morrill Act, which created the land-grant university system 150 years ago. She is a passionate champion of the land-grant’s tripartite mission of education, research and public outreach, as well as the important role higher education plays in the development of individuals and the prosperity of the nation.

We are honored to hear President Cruzado’s journey of her own success, as well as that of our state’s flagship institution, offer encouragement to new leaders, and discuss her vision for the future of MSU in alignment with the innovative spirit of Bozeman.

We look forward to having you join us for cocktails, appetizers, networking, and plenty of fun! The evening will also feature door prizes and raffles benefiting local education scholarships and small business grants awarded by Bozeman BPW.
