PWN Global Newsletter Q3 2024
We wish you all a very happy Summer break!
Dear members,
dear friends, and dear supporters of the PWN community,
Summer break is finally upon us and we're in an
Olympic year! Indeed, the Olympics is on its way to PWN Global's
founding city, Paris - and this infograph made us smile this
morning:
We'd like to give a great big shout out to all
the female athletes who are making gender-balance a reality in the
sporting arena, and inspiring the next generation. Shine bright
ladies, we salute you all!
And, while on a congratulatory note, we'd like to
take a moment to introduce and welcome some changes to the leadership
in our city networks. The past few months have seen many presediential
mandates come to an end and new ones begin. We'd like to extend our
sincere gratitude to all of our outgoing city network Presidents, and
a big welcome to the new and re-elected city network Presidents,
including:
Action Plan for 2024 - Expand, Impact, Innovate
We are now into the second year of our
presidential mandate, and our Board team is firmly established with
great enthusiasm and ambition. At our recent AGM, we presented our
action plan for the remainder of our mandate, and we are motivated to
deliver impact. The key words around the action plan are Expand,
Impact and Innovate, and to that end, here's what we're seeking to
do:
- Continue to drive membership by building existing city networks
and opening new networks in strategically important locations around
the world.
- Strengthen our global offer with the Women on Boards Circle, Women
in Leadership and International Mentoring Programmes
- Continue to advance our corporate partnerships to build financial
stability
- Build an alternative revenue stream via innovative approaches to
fundraising
There is much to do! Remember, PWN is a
volunteer-led organisation. We can only achieve our ambitious goals
with the valued investment from our corporate partners, and YOU, our
PWN community. Finding suitable volunteers to help deliver our vision
is key to the success of the organisation. You will see below a range
of volunteer roles that are
available, and we'd love to hear from you if you are able
to help. Our mantra remains firm - growing stronger,
TOGETHER.
The New Platform is Well Under Way! Be ready for some big changes
in October!
We are currently hard at work preparing the new
platform and creating a mobile app - but concretely, what does this
mean for you?
The new platform we have chosen is going to lead
to a complete revamp of all our public-facing websites around the
world, to strengthen our brand cohesiveness and visibility; on the
membership side of things, we are cretaing an even more sophisticated
community-driven environment. This will make it easier for you to:
pick and choose the content and themes that you see; easily network
thanks to our newly developed App; tailor the people and groups that
you want to engage with; and easily book events that will generate a
diary invite!!!
We believe that this new platform underpins our
network's existence and will enable us to drive our visibility, and
welcome more new members and partners from around the world.
Ultimately it's a vital enabler to speeding up the advancement of
gender-balanced leadership.
We hope you enjoy this edition of the newsletter.
If you like the stories we have shared, please feel free to share it
with your own networks to help spread the word about the work of PWN
Global and the PWN city networks.
Warmest regards from your dedicated
Presidents
