The first chapter was chartered in 1949. There are now more than 350 chapters in 46 states, with a total membership exceeding 20,000. Monthly dinner meetings at which outstanding local speakers are heard; boss night banquets, emphasizing the value of employer-employee relations; and special educational problems, make for a well-rounded chapter schedule. Primarily educational in nature, chapters are encouraged to sponsor local schoolarships for worth- while women aspiring to improve themselves educationally. Scholarships awarded by local chapters throughout the United States, last year alone, amounted to over; $35,000.

In addition, a National Fund was established in 1953. This fund enables chapters to participate in scholarship projects of a larger nature than those usually sponsored by a local chapter, and normally are confined to outstanding students working towards college degrees.
