Dear Berkshire BPW Members and Friends,
Dear Berkshire BPW Members and Friends,
The beauty of Autumn is one of my favorite things about living in the Berkshires. I don’t know about you, but the foliage feels especially vibrant this year, and it has been complemented by the most gorgeous fall weather. While you enjoy your pumpkin spice and admire your neighbor’s Halloween decor, I hope you can take a moment to enjoy the natural beauty that this time of year shines on our community and home.
Many of you who have been members of BBPW for a while know that the organization has changed and evolved, especially in the last few years. We continue to learn and grow, and want to hear your voices and feedback as we adapt and evolve to meet the needs of our members and community. There are many ways for us to act on our mission of being a resource and source of empowerment for all working women in our community, and it starts with being welcoming. We look forward to sharing events with you, and other organizations and groups in our community that help us reach more broadly into our community, and serve as an inclusive space. While our board works to put ideas into action, we are in need of your feedback on what you want to see. You can reach me directly at bbpwpresident@gmail.com, or any member of our board to share your feedback and ideas.
Our board is currently looking for someone to serve as Vice President to help us meet the needs of our membership and community. Members of our board bring many strengths and skills to the table, as well as varied life and career experience. If you are interested in honing your leadership skills, serving women in your community, and playing a role in the future of our organization, this could be your opportunity to shine. The only prerequisite is a willingness to learn, grow, and be creative with us as we work together. Curious if this is right for you? I’m happy to answer any questions you may have, as are the rest of our board members.
It is always exciting to reconnect with longtime members and friends, as well as to see new faces at our meetings. I look forward to seeing many of you for our next event on Monday, November 28th and at all of our upcoming programs!
All the best,
Hannah
