Membership Tool of the Month!
Check out the NEW 10-minute video from VP Daneene Monroe Rusnak on our current advocacy efforts. Use this when promoting the benefits of membership in NFBPWC. It’s parked on our New Member Welcome page at NFBPWC - New Member Welcome Guide. (While you’re there, please re-familiarize yourself with the tools we’ve made available to new members. Please follow up with your new members to ensure they are aware of them. Nothing takes the place of personal contact with a new member!) (Megan needs to add that or else change verbiage to “it will be parked soon on….”)
THANK YOU BPW MICHIGAN!
It was a pleasure to attend the BPW Michigan convention in Mackinaw City, Michigan, May 3-4. I was delighted to meet so many members from all over the state and I learned so much about Michigan in the process. In fact, we were so far north that Canada was south of us!
A very special thank you to President Lynn Card, IPP General Amy Courter, Sue Oser and my wonderful “roomie” Shirley Zeller for the special treats, gifts, private transportation, beautiful room with a view of Lake Michigan, day trip to Mackinac Island, and networking at the Pink Pony! I was so pleased to have these special women join NFBPWC last year, and I was extremely honored to present BPW Michigan with the Nike statue for Largest Affiliate in the United States, topping out at 146 members, last count!
DOUBLE or MORE in ’24

Rules of the content:
The Affiliate or Club President (or Membership VP/Chair) will verify and forward the information to the NFBPWC VP Membership before the deadline JULY 15, 2024 (vpmembership@nfbpwc.org). Please do not have individual members for the information. It’s okay to send the information as you receive it. We’d like it condensed per Affiliate/Club so we can keep better records, and we’ll reconcile our information with yours before the Convention.

THANK YOU to the 2022-2024 National Membership Committee.
These members have been dedicated over the term to developing and improving our membership experience, from onboarding instructions and videos, membership retention outreach, Donation Gifts, and efforts to reconnect with our “Heritage” sisters around the country. If your club is not represented, please consider encouraging someone to join this committee so you are aware of all the tools to increase your membership!
And with special appreciation to President Megan Shellman Rickard for her support with all our efforts over the term.
As we wrap up another term, I’d like to note the progress the Membership Committee has made, including:
Created a New Member Onboarding page on the website with short videos on how to create your membership directory page, our 100+ year history, current advocacy programs and a welcome video from President Megan.
Updated the Membership flyer and 3-fold pamphlet
Conducted a dues analysis that put NFBPWC as one of the lowest for women’s organizations.
Created a “lapsed member” email to re-engage nonrenewing members
Updated Charter documents for Heritage Affiliates
Added “Donation Gift” page to purchase BPW Bling (more to come!)
The National Membership Committee meets on the first and third Mondays of each month, holidays excluded.
In June we will meet on the 3rd and 17th.
Our community guidelines must be followed by anyone who uses or comments on our blogs.
