BPW International

As President I had the distinct pleasure of travelling to Alberta on September 14 to attend the Charter Ceremony for the launch of the new Edmonton Club.  What an exciting event! 

It was held at a Lexus Dealership in Edmonton with more than 50 guests and 13 new members shown in the photo.  President Sally Arkell-Boles made a real splash in Edmonton and the Charter Ceremony was honoured by the attendance of three women from their City Council.  This club is ready to make a difference in Edmonton as the voice for women.  Also shown in the photo is BPWC Vice President, Connie Friesen who inspired Sally to form a club, and BPW Calgary Club member, Barb Francis, their mentor.

To round out my trip, I also had the pleasure of meeting with members of the BPW Calgary Executive to answer some questions and give them encouragement.  They are very enthusiastic about their Club and eager to grow, not only in Calgary but in the surrounding cities of Red Deer and Lethbridge.  They plan to spread the word of BPW.
