President CFBPW 2023-2024

May 17, 2024
Dear Members of California Federation
of Business and Professional Women,

As we conclude this presidency term with the California Federation of
Business and Professional Women, it is a moment to reflect on the significant
achievements we have attained together. Throughout this year, we have made
great strides in promoting cross-cultural events, fostering understanding and re-
spect across diverse communities. In the year 2023, we showcased a special
dance from India, celebrating the rich cultural heritage and diversity within our
organization.

Our programs have embodied a holistic approach, emphasizing the im-
portance of incorporating learning breathing techniques for overall well-being and
personal growth. We have also championed the success of minority entrepre-
neurs in our state programs at local club, district and state levels.
Furthermore, our commitment to supporting leadership training has been unwa-
vering, empowering individuals to reach their full potential and make a lasting
impact in their respective fields. As we close out the year, we are honored to
have hosted exceptional speakers who have shared their expertise and insights
across various modalities, inspiring us to strive for excellence and innovation.

To the incoming officers, we extend our warmest wishes for a successful
and fulfilling year ahead. May you continue to build upon the foundation we have
laid and lead with passion, dedication, and a commitment to excellence. Here's to
a bright future for the California Business and Professional Women!

Maria C. DeSousa
CFBPW President 2023-2024
