PWN Global Newsletter Q1 2024
New year, exciting new offers
Dear members
and supporters of the PWN community,
2024 is upon us and we're excited to start with
so many great plans afoot.
In just the first quarter of 2024 we have many
great things to report on: the launch of our International Mentoring
Programme; progress on our Women on Boards Programme; a great
selection of leadership and development webinars; and, the PWN Global
Summit.
There are two things that are critical to our
success....
Our Technology
We are a collection of local networks that are
able to collaborate thanks to the technology platforms we use. We
realise that our once state-of-the-art website and member platform is
ready for an overhaul. we want to provide you with the best user
experience possible so that you can benefit from everything we have to
offer in an easy, hassle-free environment.
We have a team that is currently working to
build, test, and roll out our new website, member platform, and app in
2024.
This is a big job to undertake in a fully
resourced corporate organisation, so imagine the complexity of such a
project in a multi-city, multi-currency operating model, supported by
volunteers? And yet, we're doing it - and doing on time and to budget!
Stay tuned for the first screen shots showing what you have to look
forward to.
Our Volunteers
2023 was an election year for PWN Global. We were
re-elected as your co-Presidents, and have been delighted to get to
know the new Board members, all of whom have bought a fresh
perspective to our thinking and this two-year mandate.
Each of our new Board members has been working
hard to build a volunteer team around their functional areas, and our
Volunteer push at the end of 2023 reaped some great rewards. Learn
more about the volunteer talent that has joined us for this exciting
phase of PWN Global development.
World Economic Forum 2024 in Davos
As always, at this time of year, the world's
great and good (and some not so good) descend on the picturesque ski
resort that is Davos. It's estimated that attending the WEF costs an
eye-watering expense of around €40,000 - so unfortunately, we're not
there! However, we are delighted that Gender Equality remains high on
their list of discussion points. Check out het link down below that
gives you all the latest on the discussion point of gender
inequality.
Finally....
Registrations
for the PWN Global Summit (Strasbourg) 2024, have hit the ground
running. We already have over 100 sign ups to join us in the European
Parliament in Strasbourg on International Women's Day (8th March
2024). The importance of this event is illustrated by the building in
which it will be held and we sincerely hope that as many of you as
possible make the journey to join us (everybody is welcome - members
and non-members, women and men).
The Summit will be a true cornerstone in the
history of our network and something that our entire community can be
proud to be part of. To accommodate as many people as possible, we
have been able to extend our Early Bird offer until midnight on 21st
January. After this date, ticket prices will increase - so if you've
been waivering, there's no time like the present to make the
committment to attend.
We were interviewed by a member of the
hard-working Summit Team, on our aspirations for the event - you can
read more in the article below.
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
