We’ve got a few important dates coming up, and this is a great moment to start getting involved.

First up: November 10

We’ll (NGO CSW/NY) be hosting our very first YLYP (Young Leaders & Young Professionals) meeting. This is a space for younger members to connect, share ideas, and get more involved in advocacy — especially ahead of CSW (The UN’s Commission on the Status of Women). Please make sure to pass this along to your club’s YBPW members or any young professionals who might be interested. We want them in the room and part of the conversation.

Next: November 12

The  NGO  CSW/NY  Open  Forum  is happening! If you’re curious about CSW or

planning to get involved this year, this is the perfect place to start. You’ll learn what SW is, how NGOs can take part, and what to expect for CSW70.

And starting November 13:

Applications open to host parallel events for CSW70. This is a great chance to highlight the work your club is doing, showcase an issue you care about, or collaborate with other organizations on a global stage.

So, if CSW, youth engagement, or advocacy have been on your mind—even a little—now’s the time to get involved. Let’s make sure all NFBPWC members, especially our up and coming young ones, are informed, included, and ready to lead.
