MENSAJE DE LA COORDINADORA REGIONAL AMÉRICA LATINA
Una organización tan importante y grande como la Federación Internacional de Mujeres de Negocios y Profesionales, debe asegurarse de tener bases sólidas. De lo contrario, será como un gigante con pies de barro cuya fragilidad le pondría en peligro constante de destrucción.
No es el número de Afiliadas, lo que debemos buscar, sino la calidad y solidez de las mismas, así como la mística y ética de sus socias; sólo así aseguraremos la permanencia y el éxito de la organización.
