Those of you of a certain age will remember the old commercial that asked "What would you do for a Klondike Bar?" Now, I don't know about you, but I might be willing to do a few silly and zany things for an ice cream treat. But, here's a bigger question for you to consider as we prepare for this coming year; What would you do to support women in the workplace, at home, or in all the other places where you will find women? May I suggest that in BPW, we'll try (almost) anything to support our sisters, just as we've done for more than 100 years. We will ADVOCATE, EDUCATE, MENTOR, LIGISLATE, and CELEBRATE, to name a few things. We will be there through thick and thin, helping break the glass ceiling, grabbing a place at the table, and doing whatever it takes to ensure that women have the same opportunities as men. I want to thank all of you who have volunteered your time, talents and energy to BPW. Some of you are new to this organization; others have been a part of this organization for a long time. All of you are leaders in many ways. All of you bring your own unique and creative selves to serve and inspire the rest of us. I offer special thanks to 2024 - 2025 President Amelia Taggart, the EC, and the 2024 - 2025 Board for your support and assistance. I is my privilege to serve as your incoming BPW/Ohio President. Together, we will do good and maybe even grand things. If we're lucky, there might be ice cream treats. Best Personal Wishes,
