President's Message

Hello RSFBPW Ladies and Guests:

Happy New Year! As we step into 2024, I am filled with optimism and excitement. The start of a new year is a time for celebration, reflection and positive anticipation for what lies ahead.

Reflecting on the past year, we've experienced remarkable growth in our membership. Many of you overcame challenges and as you did, you rose to new heights professionally and personally. This inspires us. Your achievements have set a standard of excellence and empowerment for us to aspire to.

2024 holds a world of possibilities. This year, I encourage you each to embrace your aspirations with renewed vigor. Whether you scale new professional heights, launch a dream project, or achieve a long-desired-personal goal, your ambitions are valid and achievable. Let's make 2024 a year of action, where we turn our goals into realities.

Remember to seek support and guidance from our incredible members at RSFBPW. We are here to network, uplift and empower one another. Let's combine our collective wisdom and experiences to propel everyone forward.

From resolutions to bucket lists, I hope you check them all off this year. Be sure to prioritize self-care by taking time for yourself. Focus on getting healthier, getting more rest, travelling more, and/or having more fun.

I can't wait to see at our January 18, RSFbpw meeting at 11:00 a.m.

P.S. Mark your calendars for all of our meetings in 2024. Let’s kickstart this exciting new year together.

Warmly,

Jill Harris

RSFBPW President

Shout-Outs and Testimonials

We may run out of time at our meetings to share our testimonials for each other's services, products, and community announcements. We encourage you to write your praise and mail an email or note to the member who you want to applaud. Send your friends a special email sharing your testimonial about the member you are highlighting. Post your Shout-Out on our RSFBPW Facebook page and on your own FB page.

We offer Shout-outs and testimonial time at the end of many of our meetings, however it depends on the time left after our speaker has concluded their presentation. We do not offer testimonial time at our November and December meetings because of the length of the program. We encourage you to pass out your information, flyers, handouts and community announcements during the open networking time which is between 11:15 a.m. and 11:45 a.m.

You may also want to use your 20 second commercial time during the meeting to share your business event or announcement with the group and invite interested members to pick up a flyer with more details in the back of the room. Thanks for cheerfully working with us!

A Gentle Reminder about Spamming RSFbpw Members

Members and visitors must individually ask each member for permission to place them on any form of mass communication-email blasts, newsletter lists, U.S. Mail lists or group texts. Without each member's individual permission, we consider this type of communication to be an act of spamming. To build long-term relationships with members please write personal notes and emails first and after developing rapport, ask these members only for permission to place them on your mailing list. Thank you for your cooperation.
