Welcome to the BPW Virtual Club's New Virtual Initiative!

Being a virtual club requires many different forms of communication and we are learning the ropes as we go!  This blog will be a place for general information about our club, and the activities that we are engaged in.  Our membership uses many means to shrink the miles between us:  blogs, email, webpages and teleconferences. 

We are always learning something new, and we'd love to have you learn along with us.  Please look over this webpage and get a better idea of who were are and what we do. 

In the near future there will be information coming on the pending teleconference series for this year!  We have arranged to have some very exciting speakers and we are eager to learn and grow with you! 

Cheers for now, stay tuned for more information.
p.s. Members you received an invitation for a members only blog.  I look forward to chatting with you on that one soon!
