Hard to believe but it’s 2026 already. I hope you all had a lovely holiday season.

The International Executive met in early November for our annual Face-to-Face meeting. It was a very valuable and productive meeting with a lot of work accomplished. There was discussion about the 2027 IFBPW Congress and a location should be shared soon.

Work on our Member’s Survey is coming along very well and by the time you are reading this you may have received the link to complete it.

There was a pilot survey done to make sure it was right before it went out to all members, and we are very appreciative of the time and work that has been put into this survey.

It will be exciting to see the results so the International Executive can do the work to address any concerns to ensure the value of your membership is enhanced. Watch for it in your inbox around mid-January. We hope you will all take the time to complete it.
