Hello RSFBPW Ladies and Guests:
As we celebrate Women’s Week in March, a time dedicated to recognizing the vital role of women in our world, I am inspired to reflect on the extraordinary contributions of several remarkable women. Each, in her unique way, has paved paths, broken barriers, and illuminated our journey towards equality, empowerment, and change. This month, let's draw inspiration from their stories, their resilience, and their unwavering commitment to making a difference.
From Harriet Tubman’s brave journeys on the Underground Railroad, symbolizing the fight for freedom and justice, to Malala Yousafzai’s courageous advocacy for girls’ education against all odds, these women exemplify the strength and spirit of female leadership. Clara Barton founded our American Red Cross, while Jacinda Ardern, 40th Prime Minister in New Zealand managed the Pandemic with empathetic and decisive governance. These women, like us, remind us of the diverse arenas in which we can and do excel.
A quote that resonates with me during for our women entrepreneurs, from Ruth Bader Ginsburg, says “Women belong in all places where decisions are being made. It shouldn’t be that women are the exception.” Ginsburg captures the core of our celebration of women everywhere - as leaders, as entrepreneurs, as volunteers, as influencers and in every field where we choose to make our mark.
These famous women have shown us that with determination, courage, and solidarity, there are no limits to what we can achieve. Their lives and legacies are testaments to the power of female influence and the importance of how we all make a difference.
Let's use these stories to inspire us to dream bigger, reach higher, and stand stronger together. Let's honor their legacies by continuing to push for progress, by being leaders in our network, companies, our communities, and by supporting one another in each of our endeavors to make that difference.
Remember, our March Meeting starts at 11:00 AM so you can network for 45 minutes before we start our lunch and formal meeting. As a member you can donate a raffle basket for our 2024 Charity and that entitles you to have 60 seconds for your commercial. The proceeds from our raffle basket will be donated to our 2024 Charity at the end of the year.
I can't wait to see you in March. Oh.... if you want, wear a shamrock or green at our meeting!
Warmly,
Jill Harris
