Let’s Do More Together in 2024!

 The New Year is a great time to celebrate our membership in this amazing organization by cultivating connections and creating community in 2024!  We know that collectively; our influence is stronger. We can empower each other by creating new opportunities for networking, burgeoning friendships, and collaborations.

There is a humble sense of accomplishment and immense gratitude to our members for what we have done as an organization in 2023. We have created an organization where women from all walks of life network to make a difference in gender equity while we continue to support each other as we continue the fight. Our committees and taskforces have facilitated achievements of success and recognition. We are indebted to each other for the many volunteer hours that have made a true difference for women. Thank you to every member for your commitment and invaluable contributions. I’m deeply grateful to all of you for making NFBPWC a membership organization that truly can move the needle for women and women’s issues.

We leave 2023 with sadness as we mourn the loss of BPW members who graced our organization with their presence and inspiring leadership. Let us all take a moment to remember those who walked these proverbial halls before us and ensure that their legacy carries through for another 100 years!

We continue to create programming for our members and guests that increases our propensity for connection and our ability to empower women. In 2024 NFBPWC will have its Biennial Conference in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania from July 18-21, 2024 with the theme: “Equaliy Has No Deadline!” (https://www.nfbpwc.org/Biennial-General-Assembly)  BPW International will hold their triennial Congress in Mar del Plato, Argentina from November 17-21, 2024 with the theme: “New Actions through Cooperation.” (https://www.bpw-international.org/events/bpw-international-congress-argentina-2024/) There is more to come this year and we cannot wait to share our community with our current and future members!

I look forward to celebrating and honoring one another, as each member brings their own gifts to the conversation.  The women of today need to hear us. The women of tomorrow want to see us standing strong against misogyny, racism, violence, and injustice. We have the power to make a difference as we continue to honor our interconnectedness as humans, more specifically as women.

NFBPWC will continue to light a path for our future that promotes justice, solidarity, diversity, inclusion, innovation, and celebration in 2024. Sending personal wishes of celebration, health, and progress around the globe!
