Dear Members:

It is with great excitement and a profound sense of responsibility that I begin my term as your President.  Our theme for the 2024-2026 term is

Connecting Locally.  Uniting Nationally.  Igniting Globally.

This theme embodies our collective ambition and vision for the future. This theme is not just a statement.  It is a promise to each of you.

Connecting Locally means nurturing our immediate networks and communities.  Our local connections are the heart of our organization.  It’s about ensuring that every member has access to the support, resources, and opportunities they need to succeed.  By strengthening these local ties, we build a solid foundation for broader initiatives.  Your local efforts and collaborations are what make us a strong and resilient community.

Uniting Nationally involves coming together across all states, sharing best practices, and working as a cohesive force.  Together, we will share best practices, support each other's initiatives, and work towards common goals.  Your involvement is what will drive our national success and amplify our collective voice.  National unity amplifies our voice and enhances our ability to advocate for change and progress on a larger scale.

Igniting Globally is about reaching out beyond our borders, learning from our international peers, and making a global impact.  Every connection we forge and every collaboration we undertake will contribute to a more inclusive, empowered and interconnected world.

We should all extend our gratitude to the outgoing leadership team for their incredible service.  Their hard work has paved the way for us to continue moving forward.  Now, it’s our turn to build on their legacy by infusing new energy and ideas.

Let’s embrace this journey with enthusiasm and determination.  The future is bright, and together, we will make it extraordinary.

Sincerely,

Barbara Bozeman 

President, NFBPWC (2024-2026)
