President's Message
August 15, 2010
I
write this first President’s Message as the
2010-2011 year opens and we celebrate our 92nd
year as a Club. I welcome everyone to this
upcoming year!
 BPW/Raleigh’s

personal growth of our members by empowering

I also write this first President’s Message one
day after wrapping on the BPW/NC documentary,
Pioneers in Skirts. It was an AMAZING
experience to work with such a dedicated crew.
Members from all over the state stepped up to
the plate; sending in documents and images;
helping to tell the story about BPW – a story
with a strong legacy theme. This documentary is
about women driven by purpose. It is about true
mentorship, true community, and true change.
It's about the power of women helping other
women.
What an honor it was to listen to the filmmaker
interview long time members who were pioneers --
they were business women before there were
business women; they
were breaking ground and testing waters.
We heard how BPW impacted them and changed them.
As
we enter our 92nd year, we must never
forget our past and the trail blazers who came
before us. We have learned that when
you dare to dream, you should also dare to do.
So, as we look to the future, I am excited to
announce this year’s theme:
Dare to Achieve;
a year-long focus on building skill-sets,
experiences, and making connections.
Looking forward to seeing you all – members and
guests, at our Tuesday, August 24 kick-off
dinner meeting!
Sincerely,
Lea-Ann W. Berst
BPW/Raleigh President
