It is observed each year in October to pay tribute to the accomplishments of business and professional women.

The president of the United States, Governors and Mayors, officials and businessmen pay tribute to the Federation and its service to the community, state and nation. The Federation, in turn, is most grateful for their assistance and cooperation. National Business Women's Week was conceived by Miss Emma Dot Partridge, executive secretary of the National Federation from 1924 to 1927, to call attention to the achievements of women in business and the professions and to give the community at large an opportunity to become acquainted with the program of the National Federation. The first annual observance occurred April 22, 1928. The week was observed annually each spring until 1938, in which year it was changed to the fall. President Truman, in a recent letter of praise and encouragement, stated that "women are rising to the opportunities for work in business and the professions. Their participation in the activities of offices, conference rooms and legislative halls is good for the country. I believe that the steps which lead to success on the job are basically the same for both men and women. The most successful men and women I know have set their goals high and have worked hard toward them. Successful people know that creative imagination as well as technical ability is necessary to adequate preparation for real partnership in the world's work."
