Dear BPW sisters from all over the World
I hope you and all BPW Members and all your loved ones are safe and healthy.
I’m delight to inform you that the XXX Virtual General Assembly will be held during 21-30 March 2021.

During 25 February – 10 March 2021, BPW affiliates are invited to submit credential form to name the delegates and Alternate delegates to attend the Virtual General Assembly. They must then register to attend accordingly. However, other BPW members are welcome register to participate as Observers and watch the live broadcast of the event.
