PWN Global Newsletter Q2 2022
Spring Edition
Dear members
and supporters,
The world is going through terrible upheaval,
with a war in Europe like we have not seen for many years. And once
again it is the women who bear the brunt of the fallout. Women have to
leave their homes, their cities, their countries, to protect the
children and the elderly.
We have many testimonies, and are uplifted to
hear how many of you are helping, supporting, rescuing these women,
and these families in exile, showing immense benevolent, international
solidarity.
PWN is a network of commitment and support, and
we are proud of the spontaneous outbursts it allows.
More than ever we see how important it is to
promote gender equality and continue to work on accelerating
gender-balanced leadership. A diversity of views prevents excesses,
and we all benefit from this.
PWN Global Developments
Despite the extenuating situation, we’re proud
to announce that as we re-emerge from the difficult global pandemic
situation, our network is more alive than ever, moving forward and
developing:
- Our network is on the rise again with a promising increase in
membership. In the last 3 months, we have welcomed over 200 new
members in 3 months. This is great news and we are delighted to see
these signs of growth.
- Six of our CNs have seen their Presidents move on to new pastures.
We warmly thank the outgoing Presidents of Paris, Norway, Copenhagen,
Rome, Lisbon for their commitment to our beautiful adventure, and we
salute our incoming Presidents and are assured of their success as
they stand on the shoulders of giants. We wish our President of PWN
Barcelona much love on her maternity leave and welcome their interim
President also.
- Our #WearYourCrown❤ campaign was launched at the beginning of
March. We encourage you to take a moment to participate in the
campaign by actively sharing it
with all of your personal networks, to support PWN to
build more momentum in all of our projects. The campaign will run
until June so you have time to get involved (see more in the article
below).
- A partnership with Michael Page in Portugal has allowed us to
benefit from professional advice in recruitment of volunteers. We have
onboarded new volunteers into the ranks of PWN Global, and we
still need reinforcements to develop our association, and
strive to achieve our mission to advance gender balanced
leadership. Contact us
today to find out more, and please share the news of our
need with your friends and colleagues.
So there you have it, our network is more alive
than ever! We know that there is still a lot to do, and with the
commitment of PWN Global, our local City Networks and our dedicated
volunteer corps, will are confident of success.
We hope you enjoy this quarter's newsletter and
all the interesting articles it contains. Please feel free to share
our newsletter with your own networks that you think would like to
know more about the PNW Global network.
Warmest regards,your dedicated Presidents
Virginia and Nadine
