Calling
all BPW Locals! The Young
Careerist Program is in
danger of extinction
since there has been only one
local throughout the state that has
submitted a candidate to participate
at state convention. Please take a
moment and send me the names and
contact info of eligible
participation candidates in your
local area. Attached
is a REQUEST form that should be
completed by the candidate. Also
attached is a FACT SHEET on the
Young Careerist Program that you can
make copies of to hand out to
potential candidates. The
state executive committee is also
planning a red carpet event to
showcase all the YCs from the state
during the Women Mean Business Gala
on June 1st, 7:00 p.m. This is a
chance for our young people to feel
like a princess. Please don't let
this opportunity pass for someone.
Share this info with any eligible
individuals you come across.

Define a Leader and
describe how you are developing your
lifestyle to become a Leader.
2)
Describe a Mentor and
how you would mentor a participant
of an At-Risk Girls Program.
3)
You are lobbying
Congress on behalf of Women's
Rights, for what women’s issue would
you lobby - how and why?
4) How can men and children
help women achieve equality and what
responsibilities do women
have
to educate men and children on the
inequalities that exist today for
women?
