Chair - Sue Calhoun

The role of the Federation Promotion Committee is to promote our Canadian and International Federations of BPW Clubs, to publicize activities around our key priority issues, and to attract new members. Building membership is a major priority of the 2006 - 2008 biennium. That includes increasing membership in existing clubs, and forming new clubs. It may be a cliché to say but there is strength in numbers. BPW Canada is working on some very important issues - a national childcare program, income equity for women and women in politics, to name just a few. The more voices we have, the greater strength, the more likely we are to be heard. So join us. Contact your Provincial President (see "Contacts" page) to find out where there is a club near you or what you might do to start one. We now have a Virtual Club for women who travel a lot or who live in areas without a club, and there is a contact for that as well on the "Contacts" page. If there isn't a Provincial President in your province, please contact me directly and we'll see what we can do. We'll be posting our activities regularly on this page. We have an exciting program lined up for the next two years, a dynamic Board of Directors, and we really hope you get involved!

• BPW International has launched the The Triple One Crown Membership Challenge. A special pin - a beautiful piece of jewellery -  will be awarded to each member who brings in one new member per year or three new members during this triennium (2005-08). All who receive it can wear it proudly that they contributed to BPW!  As an additional incentive, members who bring in 10 or more new members by July 2008 will be eligible to win a free air ticket from anywhere in the world to BPWI Congress in Merida, Mexico on October 24-28th, 2008! We're encouraging our BPW Canada clubs to get involved in this very worthwhile initiative. Together, with your support, participation and commitment, we can make the next few years a period of great growth for BPW Canada and around the world.
  
  What Club presidents need to do - Fill out the Triple One Crown Club Reporting Form (Word). Reporting will be done quarterly. Reporting months are end September, end December 2007; end March, end June and July 15th, 2008. Federation Promotion Committee member Ruth Bradford has agreed to be the contact point for reporting. Club Presidents, please send your quarterly report to Ruth at ruthbradford@royallepage.ca.
  
  
• La formule Couronne Triple Un est bien avancé avec plusieurs pays ou il existe des Clubs de carrières professionnelles et commerciale (BPW International) déjà engagés. Le pin Couronne qui sera octroyé aux membres qui qualifient en amenant une nouvelle affiliée chaque année des trois ans de la période est une belle pièce de bijouterie! Toutes celles qui le recevront le porteront avec fierté car elles auront contribué à la BPW! Une motivation additionnelle, c'est que les membres qui apportent 10 membres ou plus jusqu'en juillet 2008 seront tirés au sort pour un billet gratuit depuis n'importe où au monde jusqu'au Congrès de Mérida, Mexique, en octobre 24-28, 2008!  Avec votre appui, engagement, communication constante et avec la participation des membres, nous pourrons faire que pendant ces trois ans il y ait une grande croissance qui nous bénéficie toutes!  Merci beaucoup de votre aide.
  
  Les Présidentes des Clubs sont invitées à faire un rapport résumé à la fin de chaque trimestre, à partir du fin septembre 2007. Après cette date, les mois du rapport seront la fin décembre 2007, la fin mars 2008, la fin juin 2008 et le mi-juillet 2008 (date limite). Les prix seront octroyés lors du Congrès de Mérida au Mexique. Pour ce faire, utiliser le Formulaire rapport Couronne Triple (Word). Envoyez votre rapport à Ruth Bradford au ruthbradford@royallepage.ca.
