NFBPWC Women on the Move Committee Chair 

Women on the Move will be a discussion during the Triennial in St. Kitts. I am still  looking for Committee Members to work with – and realize that there is a  misunderstanding about our focus. This is NOT ABOUT MIGRANTS, REFUGEES,  ASYLUM SEEKING WOMEN COMING TO AMERICA. This Committee is for  women like you, your neighbor, me – women who may move for a myriad of reasons  – desire, love, financial opportunity, education, health, weather, work. It is intended  to create a sisterly network of like-minded business and professional women around  the US, in North America and the Caribbean, and globally who can support one  another’s success.  

Let me know if you are interested in joining this committee – our intention is to make the world a welcoming  place for business and professional women – by truly networking our resources across the globe while  connecting locally, uniting nationally and igniting globally. 

As reinforced by the meetings on women and girls that I just attended during the Summit for the Future at the  UN – the time for talk is over. It is time to seek action for change, network to make change happen, and occupy  the space around our demands for change till it happens. I am inspired by the international article on the BPW  Club in Thailand and their solidarity and achievements and would like to measure change as they do. For now,  Women on the Move will connect us locally, nationally, and globally; while uniting us locally, nationally and  globally, and of course the value we provide to members will ignite interest in our organization at all three levels. 

I call on you to join me, to help me build out this action opportunity. Reach out to me on  nerminkahmad@gmail.com for information.  

Thank you!
