It will be shared with affiliate presidents and their executive teams at an upcoming regional meeting so they can share it with their membership.

Work is underway to use the information gathered to create actionable plans for all of BPW. The first Think Tank on the topic included members from around the world. There were break-out discussions to identify strategic implications, what matters most, and where should we start. This is the start of determining strategic input for the next stage of the process.

BPW is “Activity Rich but Pathway Poor”. We are not lacking in value, but we lack visible pathways forward. Future Think Tanks will help identify those pathways to help BPW, not only at the International Level but at Affiliate Federation and Affiliate Club levels as well. Stay tuned, as more information will be shared as we move though this process.

The next BPW International Congress will be held in Fortaleza, Brazil, in November 2027. Diana Barragan, president of BPW International, will be doing a site visit of hotels this summer – yes, we have to start this early to put together this annual event! Watch this space for more details in the Fall. I hope many of you will be able to attend.

I wish you a lovely spring and look forward to seeing many of you in Raleigh and Niagara Falls.

The Canadian Falls.
