“Inspire, Innovate, Empower, Transform – Together We Shape a Sustainable Future”

Greetings BPW Sisters!

Fall is coming as the leaves on some of the trees here in Canada are starting to turn to their beautiful autumn colors.

NAC held a webinar this month, hosted by our Advocacy Coordinator Colleen Babiuk-Ilkew, titled Advocacy on the Line – Crafting Position Papers to Spark Change.

We appreciate the participation of those of you from NFBPWC who were able to attend, and the tech assistance provided by President Barbara. The recording will be shared when it’s been formatted, so those who were unable to attend can watch and learn as much as we did.

By the time you read this we will also have had our webinar, hosted by Training Coordinator Sujata Tiwari, titled Empowering BPW Leaders. The information shared here will help us all become better leaders and as soon as it is ready, we will be sharing it.

Exciting News! We have booked the hotel for our NAC Regional Conference. We look forward to seeing you at the Hilton Niagara Falls/Fallsview Hotel in Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada, August 23-25, 2026. Our Youth Symposium will be on the afternoon of August 23rd.

We have some other fabulous speakers and events planned for the whole conference, and I know it will energize us all!!

Please make your plans to attend now!

Shuttles are available from Buffalo and Toronto Pearson Airports to Niagara Falls every day for those who need to fly. Amtrak travels directly to Niagara Falls Canada, and you can carpool with other members if you prefer to drive.

There will not be another International Event this close to the US for many years, so now is the time to attend. It’s also a great chance to meet members from around the world!

You can always plan to spend an extra day or two to see the sites in this beautiful region.
