What is the committee's Strategic Plan or focus for this term?

Our Strategic Plan for this term, up to December, focuses on enhancing engagement and communication with our stakeholders (basically Universities and Schools).

Main objectives are increasing awareness of our initiatives, fostering partnerships within the communities and levering social media to disseminate information. As Committee I am surrounded by extremely professional women in different areas, so each of them is giving a significant contribution.

We have organized an online event with Lebanon to talk about Citizenship for a Better Future with Youth in Adduha High School.

In October we are organizing a conference with Bicocca University in Milan where BPW is present as partner; in November I am personally joining Mediterranean Symposium in Cyprus where I attend a panel on our activities.

Regular events will be organized to build trust and visibility to our organization. Positive actions can create trust and desire to join. We need more young members and Universities and Schools are the most important vehicle to reach them.

What is one way the members outside your committee can support or amplify your work?

One effective way for Members outside the committee to support or amplify our work is by sharing our initiatives and achievements within their own networks. This could involve promoting our events, projects or resources on social media, discussing them in forums in order to increase visibility and engagement, they can help us reach a broader audience and garner more support for our goals.

My message to USA members

Dear BPW sisters, we are excited about the opportunity to connect and collaborate with all of you. Building a strong network is essential for our growth and success, and we believe that together we can achieve great things.

Let’s try to support each other, creating a last relationship. BPW can be a means to connect, but then, it depends on us to support and believe in our actions.

Let’s make our voice strong and inspiring to empower women in our Communities.
