TBW traces its beginnings to 1919. Since this time, former members have laid the groundwork for business women with the adoption of the Texas Equal Rights Amendment guaranteeing women the right to control property separately from their husbands and close the gap between women and men in the workplace. TBW also worked to establish the M.D. Anderson Cancer Research Hospital in Texas.
When you join TBW, you’re instantly connected to our powerful network. We believe in resiliency, a can-do spirit, and the power of community. Our organization was founded in 1919 by women who refused to be victims of inequity. Similar threats are present today, and we exist to face those challenges together – through the power of continual career relevance, strong network connections, and prioritizing our critical health issues.
