Dear Presidents of BPW

Dear Members

In the last "Special Edition" of the Newsletter in June 2023, we reported on the Young BPW Asia Pacific Symposium. For the third time, the Young BPW of the Asia Pacific region organized and held a symposium. This is an example of how the regions are active between BPW International and the BPW members in their region, in this case also between the BPW members and the Young BPW of the region. 

The Regional Coordinators play an important role in this interaction: on the one hand, they are full members of the Executive Board, where they report on BPW's activities in their regions and submit regular reports; on the other hand, they are responsible for ensuring that information and the organization of BPW International are well anchored in their regions and that the important projects and initiatives are communicated and actively supported.

Each region holds its Regional Conference in a triennium, i.e. between the International Congresses. The organizers create a special conference program with the Regional Coordinator; the International President and the members of the Executive Board attend the conferences, inform directly about the BPW activities in the respective region and offer a Leaders' Summit.

This triennium has already seen the Regional Conferences of Europe in Reykjavik, Iceland, of Africa in Arusha, Tanzania, of North America and the Caribbean on St. Kitts and Nevis, and of Latin America in Santiago, Chile. Still to come this year is the Asia Pacific Region Conference in the Kingdom of Bahrain, UAE. You can find the invitation with program and registration options on the > website. The regional conferences are open to all BPW members. Would you like to travel to the Kingdom of Bahrain? Why not combine your trip with a visit to the Regional Conference.

I look forward to seeing as many of you as possible at the upcoming Regional Conference.

With this in mind, I extend my warmest greetings to you all,

Dr. Catherine Bosshart

BPW International President 2021-2024
