And finally…

What is CSW? And what the heck are all these acronyms???

Join us on Tuesday, January 23, 2024, for an informative program to learn more about BPW’s Consultative Status at the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women.

We’ll discuss the agenda (Side Events vs. Parallel Events, SDGs, Priority Theme and Review Theme), BPW-sponsored events, Leadership Summit, Gala Dinner and other social activities like Broadway shows and dinners out. I call CSW my “Global Slumber Party” as we expect over 100 BPW sisters to join us from around the world. We’ll share best practices for how to get there,

what to wear and where to stay. We’ll leave plenty of time for Q&A. We hope to address all your questions and concerns so that you will join us March 11-22, 2024, in New York City!
