BPW International

         From the Working Group

         Dear BPW UK members,
         with the International congress set to take place in November 2024 and the prospect of
         making our presence known at this and future congresses, I would like to invite you to join
         the International working group.

         The International Working Group consists of members who are interested in maintaining and
         furthering BPW UK’s participation within BPW Europe and BPW International.
         The aims of the group are:

         •  to develop strategies to ensure BPW UK plays an active role within BPW Europe and BPW
         International;

         to keep members up to date with news from BPW Europe and BPW International.

          The Working Group meets quarterly by Zoom to discuss relevant matters International Vice
         President Lynne Robinson, chairs the meetings and provide progress reports to the FEC.
         Our activities include:

         •  relaying public communications from BPW Europe and BPW International to members,

         •  considering requests to BPW Europe and BPW International for input; and
         encouraging and supporting members to take up opportunities via BPW Europe/
         International, including attending meetings of Working Groups, Commission on the Status of
         Women, UN Agencies, NGOs and reporting back to International Working Group and Federa-
         tion Executive Committee.

         Through this Working Group, BPW UK has developed a strong link with BPW Europe and
         BPW International, with several members of the group actively attending BPW Europe meet-
         ings and events such as the BPW Europe Conference and Presidents meetings, events in
         other European countries, meeting with some of the BPW International Board members and
         attending international meetings.
         We welcome any new members who wish to join our group. If you are interested, please let
         Ann Wiseall at HQ know and we will make sure to share the details of our next meeting with
         you.
