BPW Maryland (Heritage)  

BPW Maryland recently partnered with NFBPWC to introduce their members to our updated Lifelong Leadership & Learning modules.  Many thanks to Nancy “Sparkles” Warner of BPW Pennsylvania for working closely with Maryland leaders President Alicia Hannon, Susan Horst, Sharon Jacob, and Margie Kotzalas.  The L3 Sessions included Business Etiquette, Goal Setting and Negotiations.  We appreciated their opening the invitation the public.   

A shout-out to Virtual President Barbara Bozeman for her support with these presentations and her famous Wheel of BPW Fortune.  We were excited to “spin off” two free memberships in NFBPWC to the nonmembers in attendance.   

A special BPW Welcome to new Virtual Club members:

BPW Louisiana (Heritage)  

What a joy and privilege it was to spend time with the wonderful members of BPW Louisiana (Heritage).  VP Kathy Kelly attended their 104th State Conference June 7 – 8 in beautiful Baton Rouge.   

State President Rene Hollins concluded her successful term theme “Together We Can Do It” with reports from BPW leaders from around the state.  Highlights included keynote speaker Mayor-President Sharon Weston Broome, the All-White reception, and installation of incoming State President Doretha Bennett.

VP Kathy Kelly was honored with an opportunity to join the head table and speak about the benefits of rejoining NFBPWC.  Here are just a few photos of an amazing weekend with our Louisiana sisters, already jumping into President Doretha’s theme, “Stronger Women, Stronger World.”  We are moving forward with an NFBPWC Louisiana Affiliate so stay tuned for more news!
