BPW Members and Friends,

I would like to begin this message with a big thank you. I know our members work tirelessly to

bring BPW values to life on a daily basis. I would like to acknowledge and thank each and every

one of you for the wonderful work that you are continuing around the world in the name of BPW. I

continue to hear reports of, and experience first hand the stories of our members as they bring

their creativity and imagination to bear on some of our most difficult social problems.

Each making a difference.

Each promoting gender balance.

Each a beacon of resilience and hope.
