Have you read this? 3 women win Nobel Peace Prize.
Liberian President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, and Leymah Gbowee, a social worker and peace campaigner from the same country, shared the prize with Tawakkul Karman, an activist and journalist who this year played a key opposition role in Yemen. The three were chosen for their non-violent struggle against injustice, sexual violence and repression.
While these amazing women have made huge advances for women across the globe - we can also make a difference here in our own city. BPW is the vehicle that can help you make that difference. Plan on attending the Dec 14th luncheon to learn about women in legislation and get informed on women's issues and how you can help.
I used to think that I had to do something really big and important to make a difference. As I have grown older, I now realize that for most of us - the differences are comprised of small, consistent actions or words. Every day you can make a difference in the lives of women. Help us support the scholarship fund, give to our links for life cancer support, attend the meetings, coach someone on their career, attend our leadership events, encourage the women around you, and most of all - realize that you matter and have a voice.
Make your reservation today at BPWReserve@gmail.com. Have a great week and find a way to support the women around you - email us with your ideas so we can share those.
