In my part of Canada, we are deep in the throws of winter – lots of snow and some extreme cold weather. I envy those of you in warmer climates!

Work on the BPW International Mem-ber Survey is coming along very well and by the time you are reading this you may have received the link to complete it.

I hope you will all take a few minutes of your precious time to complete it – the re-sults will provide the International Execu-tive with a road map to identifying ways to improve our member experience. Look for it in your in box: BPW Listens – Your Voice Matters

Plans for the North America and Caribbean Regional Conference are coming together very well. From August 23rd through 25th, Ni-agara Falls, Ontario, Canada will welcome you!

We have a wonderful line-up of speakers planned to Inspire, Innovate, Empower, and Transform us, and workshops that will give us tools to take back to our personal, professional, and BPW lives so we can To-gether Shape a Sustainable Future.

The website should be launched by the time you are reading this so you have easy access to everything needed to reg-ister for the conference, book a hotel, arrange an airport shuttle, pre-plan explora-tions of local tourist attrac-tions, and more.

I hope that many of you have added the conference to your calendars – and that you will bring your family – Niagara Falls is beautiful and has a lot to offer every-one!

We have had to change the date for our 2nd Regional Leadership Webinar: Succession Planning that Lasts – Building the Next Generation. It will be held on Thursday, April 23rd at 7:00 PM EDT, hosted by our training coordinator Sujata Tiwari.

Pre-register here.

I hope to see many of you there. We all need to think of succession planning with-in our clubs and this webinar will give us tools to do that.
