Historical Note
The Business & Professional Women's Club of San Antonio, a club
organized to offer professional women an opportunity to gather to promote their
interests as well as to provide "mutual helpfulness." The club was founded May
23, 1923 with 50 charter members. The club's main interests have been providing
women with business opportunities, promoting opportunities for women in the
professions and encouraging young women to enter the professions. Among their
special interests have been legislation regarding professional women, the right
of women to serve on juries, international relations and civic duty.
The Business & Professional Women's Club of San Antonio has served
the city by sponsoring clubs for young women in high school, offering
scholarships for young women and by fundraising for various charities.
Activities of the club are well-documented in the pages of the local
newspapers,
San Antonio Express-News and the former
San Antonio Light.
Club members in San Antonio have also been quite involved with the
district, state and national organizations, attending conventions sponsored
these groups. San Antonio club members also sponsored district and state
conventions, notably in 1953 and 1974, as well as workshops and seminars. As of
December, 1996, the Business & Professional Women's Club of San Antonio
continues to meet and participate in community endeavors in the city.

Special Committees
Series includes reports and correspondence related to the function
of five special committees created by the club: Audit, Bulletins, Club Policy,
Emblem, and Historian. The Audit Committee served on an ad hoc basis to produce
reports on the club's financial affairs. Bulletins contains a wealth of
information about club life. The bulletins feature club news, personal
information such as marriages, children born and illnesses and deaths of
members, as well as information from the state and national organizations. The
Club Policy Committee produced a handbook in 1957, and the Emblem Committee
maintained catalogues and price lists, and coordinated the ordering and
distribution of the B&PW emblems. History books created by the Historian
feature clips from newspapers, photographs and other club information to
commemorate the club's achievements.
Arranged by committee.

Texas Business and Professional Womens' Club
Correspondence and state reports comprise the majority of this
series. The correspondence is between state and District II officials of the
club, and club members at the local level. The state reports are divided into
financial and membership sub-series. Finances of the state organization,
including contributions from district and local clubs are found in the
financial files, and similarly detailed information about membership trends
across the state in the membership files. Another sub-series of note is the
minutes of the state board of directors meetings held monthly. These documents
offer a detailed look at how the club functions at the state level. The series
also contains issues of the state organization's publication, Texas Business
and Professional Woman, in a nearly complete from 1948 to 1978.
Arranged by form.
