Beginning the Journey

For the past week, I have been trying to get my BPW President bearings. I could spend a good 20 hours a day on BPW. Actually, I would love to be able to do that. I am enjoying this as much as I thought I would. But before my staff and clients go on strike in front of my office, I must make some compromises regarding my TIME. I have set aside 3 hours on each Monday morning for the summer to work on BPW things. I will also be working almost daily on BPW as my schedule permits but this is the definite period I have set aside. I check my email daily unless I am in court or out of town. I try to on these days as well either from hotels or my phone but I may not have a chance to respond. Please place bpw in your email header. This will help me distinguish between work and BPW. If I do not get back to you right away, I will respond during the Monday time period. If you would like to call me regarding BPW matters, Monday morning would be a good time as well.

For the last week, LM (I will be using initials for internet purposes/feel free to do this in your posts as well) has been working diligently on rolling out an Issues Management campaign that is going to be great. Also, PR is working on a Membership campaign that will be challenging but she has faith in us.

On my front, I have already made a great contact at the Ohio National Guard. She has good comments about BPW's leadership role with the Women Joining Forces campaign. I hope to be able to collaborate with her on some other things in the next year which I will pass on as soon as more details are available. I saw a special last night on national tv on 3 sisters that have joined the Ohio National Guard - does anyone know them?

Please look for your electronic Insider soon. It will be out within the next week. If you would like to receive it and you do not, please let me know. Also, the OBW will be out in July as well.
