Dear
Members,
Help me welcome on board,
our two sub-coordinators, Doris and Linda,
and our member on the International Mentoring
Taskforce, Maureen.
You may have already heard
from them, I encourage you to give them
your full corporation. They will need your
assistance to serve you better.
Since we last met, at
our Regional Conference in Jamaica, I have
had the pleasure of traveling to our clubs
in Chicago, El Paso, New York and the "
Open Hearing" on the Organization Review
and Reform in Valencia, Spain. It was a
joy to meet fellow BPW members and to share
our experiences. |
It is my intention to visit Cayman Brac,
Barbados, St. Kitts and two or three clubs
in Canada before I demit office in October,
2008.
Please be reminded that
our Congress is set for October 2008, in
Mexico City, arrangements are in place and
we will be advising you of the costs and
accommodations in a short time.
I wish you and your family a Merry Christmas,
Happy Holidays and all the Best for 2008.

Greetings to all,
This is my first communication
since our regional conference in Jamaica
last February where I was appointed as sub-regional
coordinator for the Caribbean Islands.
I am looking forward to
meeting with the representatives of all
the clubs of our region at the XXVI International
Congress in Mexico City from October 24th-28th
2008.
I hope that most of you
are able to access the information on the
website as this is the most efficient way
of distributing information to our members.
Please make it a habit to visit the website
regularly. |
To achieve our goal we need the input and
support from all the clubs of the region.
Ultimately what we need in the years to
come or years ahead, is for our capacity
to grow, our clubs to become stronger and
to continue to provide leadership while
we are being put to the test in this changing
world.
I
have no doubt that if we equipped ourselves
with the information and continue to train
and educate ourselves we will be equipped
with the knowledge and discipline to make
a difference.
I will
also like to thank you for the opportunity
to be the contact person in the Caribbean
region. keeping the communication going.
Time
passes fast and as I write this message
we will soon be preparing for the festive
season world wide, it gives me great pleasure
to send you greetings and best wishes for
a healthy and prosperous 2008.

Greetings to all,
In my position as one
of the sub-regional coordinators, I am responsible
for communication with the clubs in North
America and Bermuda (Canada, the US and
Bermuda). I have sent out messages to all
clubs with response from only one, New York.
It is imperative that we have the contact
information so that we can communicate regularly
with your clubs and let you know what is
happening in the Region. |
We would like to update the web information
for the region and have representation from
all clubs. This is a wonderful way to exchange
ideas and make a connection with other BPW
members. Currently the regional site has
very limited information about the exciting
things that clubs are doing. Let’s
change that and share our successes with
other members.
One
of my roles as a Vice President in Canada
is Programs and Projects, and supporting
the International committee. I have taken
a great interest in the issue of Human Trafficking,
having prepare two resolutions (one in 2000
and one in 2006), I have a committee across
Canada with one member in New York, but
I would like to expand this committee. What
I would like to accomplish with the committee
is to increase the awareness of all citizens
to this booming criminal activity in all
countries that is destroying the lives of
thousands of women and children.
If you can make one
more person aware of this terrible abuse
of humanity, it would be worthwhile.
I urge all clubs to
encourage your members to attend the next
Congress in Mexico City from October 24
to 28, 2008.

Sub-Regional Coordinator for NANSSC |
