Page 16 - FALL BOARD OF DIRECTORS MEETING PACKAGE - BURBANK OCTOBER 5, 2024.

MILITARY AFFAIRS REPORT

The Military Affairs Committee is appreciative of the interest in “launching” this mission
expansion from CFBPW President Anne Marie and Chico BPW. CFBPW programming has
scheduled a program speaker who is speaking on women veterans, active duty and organiza-
tions involving this unique population at the Fall Board Meeting.

Chico BPW has sponsored a student member that has graduated from a California uni-
versity and has been commissioned as a U. S. Army Second Lieutenant. The members of
Chico BPW have unanimously voted to continue her membership. This Chairwoman is com-
municating with her as she trains to become a professional full-fledged Army Officer, it is with
this in mind this this Chair will inform CFBPW of the training our women military receive and
their career advancement and choices from a “hands on” resource.
We are encouraging all Clubs to contact their local Military Recruitment Centers and
request a representative to speak at a program meeting. These military representatives are
well versed on the benefits, training and opportunities that a military career offers to our
young student members presently and beyond. It is his Chairwoman’s goal to inform the
members and build a firm foundation for this Committee and CFBPW.

Chairwoman Connie Stahl is appreciative of the opportunity to share with her BPW Sis-
ters a life that has been dear to her heart as a military officer’s wife and widow.

P.S.

I regret that I cannot attend the meeting personally as my physician does not want me to
travel too far at this time. I got hit by a car July 1 and am making a slow but steady recovery.
….. Not fun and lots of physical therapy!
