“Inspire, Innovate, Empower, Transform – Together We Shape a Sustainable Future”
Greetings BPW Sisters. I returned home recently after attending the wonderful BPW Europe Regional Conference in Malta. There were over 350 members from 43 countries that attended, and it was a great opportunity to meet new friends and reconnect with others. NAC members that attended were from St Martin, St Kitts (Liamuiga), USA and Canada.

The Conference took place in the Mediterranean Conference Centre in Valletta, Malta, which is a 16th Century Building with stunning views across the Grand Harbour of Valletta. The Theme of the Conference was Breaking Barriers – Drive Your Own Success and the 4 Pillars addressed Future Focus, Digitalisation, Globalisation and Celebrate Our Superpowers. Each Pillar included high level speakers and break out Workshops. In addition, the 12th annual Youth Symposium was held with additional speakers and panels for Young BPW Members.

The Welcome Reception was held in the Private Gardens of the Presidential Residence Palance, and we were honoured to have H.E. Myriam Spiteri Debono, President of the Republic of Malta speak to us at that time. The Gala Dinner and the Farewell Event were both held in La Valette Hall with wonderful food and music for dancing. A fun time was had by all at these events to celebrate everyone and BPW.

BPW Europe Region voted to have an award to honour the legacy of Past International President Sylvia Grace Perry. UK President Jo Kinsey was the 1st recipient of this award, and it was so well deserved. It was very special opportunity to attend this wonderful event on behalf of North America and the Caribbean.

I would like to extend special congratulations to BPW St Kitts on their 50th anniversary in May. It is wonderful that they have achieved this Golden Milestone, and they had an opportunity to celebrate their hard work, dedication and friendships recently. Well done BPW St Kitts!!!

Plans have started in earnest to work with hotel in Toronto for the North America and Caribbean Conference in September 2026. Dates will be shared as soon as they are available so we can all make sure the dates are in our calendars to be able to attend.
Warm wishes for a wonderful summer.
