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

Greetings BPW Sisters and happy Spring!

It has been a very busy time in NAC since my last report. I was able to have a lovely holiday in the Greek Islands with my husband, and now I am preparing to attend the BPW European Regional Conference in Malta May 23-25th. I am looking forward to attending their conference and learning what’s happening within BPW in Europe so I can bring back best practices for our region.

The BPW Asia-Pacific Regional Conference will be held August 24-26, 2025, in Putrajaya, Malaysia.

August 26, 2025, is IFBPW’s 95th anniversary, so it promises to be a very special event. Unfortunately, I am unable to attend and have expressed my regrets to Regional Coordinator Herlin. Here is the link if anyone is able to attend. If you do attend, please let me know so I am aware of NAC’s representation there.

Our affiliates in the region have been working hard and it’s exciting to see what’s happening there. BPW St. Kitts is celebrating their 50th anniversary as an Affiliate week-end of May 16th. We wish them congratulations on achieving this milestone and commend them for the work they have done for the IFBPWC, including hosting the Congress last November.

BPW Dominica is growing with an expansion to the north part of the island. NAC will be sending out their next newsletter in late June, so I look forward to you all seeing this great news and more at that time.

I wish you all the best as you continue your hard work for NFBPWC – you are doing a great job in following the footsteps of our founder Dr. Lena Madison Phillips, and you are to be commended.
