The Business and Professional Women's (BPW) Club of Grand Cayman is an influential network of business and professional women from over 95 countries with consultative status at the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) and participatory status with the Council of Europe.

The root of BPW's advocacy is embedded in the work with the United Nations. BPW lobbied for the formation of the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) and has supported many women's issues.

BPW Grand Cayman was formed in 1976 and has been a leader in empowering women and children in the Cayman Islands since that time. The Club's many projects include the 16 Days Campaign against Gender Abuse, Silent Witness March, Legal Befrienders, Back to School Campaign, Annie Huldah Bodden Lecture Series, Educational scholarships and much more. The Club meets every third Wednesday of the month from 5.30pm.

They run regular social events, fundraisers and community events. New members are always welcome.
