Our Global Impact
Business & Professional Women of Greater Moncton is part of a global organization that is committed to improving the status of woman in all sectors of society; especially in business, the professions and industry. We’ve been here in Moncton since 1947.
Our mandate is to improve the economic, political, employment and social conditions of women. We are a non-sectarian, non-profit and non-partisan organization. We welcome all women from all walks of life as well as the allies who advocate on behalf of women and celebrate their incredible contributions.
We recognize the achievements of women in the Greater Moncton area through our annual event – The Phenomenal Woman Award. This event is our largest fundraiser of the year, helping us to raise money for our Bursary & Grant Program as well as to cover our operating costs. Since 2013, we have awarded over $46,000 in bursaries & grants to women in our community.
Our Board of Directors is elected by our membership, every 2 years, at our AGM. It is entirely volunteer based – no one gets paid to be involved. We run on passion and a genuine desire to help women at home and abroad!
We enjoy partnering with like-minded organizations committed to inclusivity and moving the needle to close the gender gap. Both BPW Canada and BPW International hold Consultative Status with the United Nations. This gives us a voice in helping to improve the lives of women around the world.
On a monthly basis we hold get-togethers where we recognize and celebrate thought leaders, business leaders, entrepreneurs, executives, and professionals from diverse industries and backgrounds. It is a golden opportunity to learn from those in our community who are carving their own path, to participate in the discussion, and to make valuable connections with women from the Greater Moncton area.
If you are someone who values building relationships, are interested in growing your community connections, and enjoys learning from others, we’d love to have you as a member!

Our Board
Ashley Robichaud
President 2023 – 2025
Proud toddler girl mom. Happy married. Unsolved crime podcast junkie. Coffee addict and local brew enthusiast. Injury prone fitness fanatic. Lover of bouldering, all things summer, politics, puzzles and good wine. (Formerly) habitual apologizer.
When I’m not busy chasing my girl or working my day job, you will find me at the at the gym, walking my gorgeous pup Elise, chilling with the girls, or watching yet another cooking competition. Passionate about moving women in our communities forward and building a better tomorrow for my daughter (and the rest of the next generation!)
Amanda Devison
Past President
Tammy Rampersaud
1st VP
Tammy Rampersaud, the self-proclaimed lemonade maker! As the Owner of Every Lemon Public Relations & Consulting Firm, she’s on a mission to squeeze the best out of every situation. With her sweet (not sour) skills in influencing public opinion and building strong relationships, Tammy knows how to make lemonade like no other.
Here’s a juicy twist—Tammy’s last big lemon was her unsuccessful run for Mayor of the Town of Riverview. But fear not, because Tammy’s heart is still firmly wrapped around her community, and she’s determined to keep turning lemons into lemonade.
Becki Deware
VP – Fund Development
She believes that one is never too old to “learn new tricks”, and that life is richer and full of beautiful surprises, when lived with an open mind and heart!
Kim Kearns
Treasurer
- cleaning
- lists
- sweets
Heather McDonald
Membership Secretary
Simplifier of the complex who loves people until she remembers she’s an introvert. Wants to you be as successful as you possibly can, and believes in you more than you know.
Obsessive reader, constant goal setter, many cups of tea drinker who brings her spiritual side to everything she does (but not in that annoying way.) Let’s all live our best lives now so we can tell the best stories later!
Annick Duguay
YBPW VP
Lover of memes, music, and Netflix. This Acadian also likes to bake, play golf and go hiking. She is a proud cat mom of two, enjoys drinking tea, and should be watched around candy and sweets.
A joyful go-getter with a big heart, she’s always ready to cheer you up with her witty humor or by sending you just the right GIF for the situation. You can usually find her breaking a sweat in a spinning session, crushing numbers in the finance field, or at home chilling with her feline babies.
