Dear Madame President,

Dear Young BPW (for Spam-Reasons in BCC),

 

Please find here the latest Newsletter with some information out of Europe and BPW International. I kindly ask you to spread this information within your (Young BPW) members. Thank you!

 

Young BPW Europe Website re-launched

 

The Young BPW Europe Website did undergo a re-launch in design and content. It was a great workload but finally done: just in time with the 1^st Young BPW Europe Weekend I could finalize the re-launch of the Young BPW Europe Website. I am very sure that we all like the fresh and clear structure, the current text and information, the easy access to information for everyone. Now it is easier to keep the site update due to better technologies and programming.

 

Please check, if all you country-specific contact data are state of the art. If you would like to get any messages or reports uploaded, just send it to me!

 

Me personally I am very happy to finalize the wishes round about “Tools and Materials”, we once had. Now with the new page, the presentations, forms and flyers, we have a good starting point to become very visible!

 

 

I wish you great days & see you in soon! And please don’t hesitate to share your news with us!

 

 

With my best wishes,

Viktoria Balensiefen

Young BPW Europe Representative
