Enhancing co-operation and friendship between professional women in national, regional and international clubs and associations. Collaboration between all associations and clubs that share the same objectives as the Federation, especially in their amalgamation with the federation whenever possible.
	The federation acts as a central administrative body for the various clubs located in all the major cities of Jordan, including Amman, Irbid, Aqaba, Zarqa and Madaba. As Amman is the political and economical capital of the country, the BPWA Amman club has donned the mantle of the big sister with respect to the other clubs.
