take effect on 1 March 2011.
RATIONALE
This amendment is based on President’s
report on Organization Review and Reform Recommendations.
It’s imperative that BPW International increases its
membership. Many BPW Associate clubs kept their membership
static at the minimum of 20 members for years, if not over
a decade. If an Associate club is motivated to recruit 2 members
a year, it should be able to attain this. |
