hands.

11. Challenges faced by
Young BPW International
• Membership
Retention
Recession/job cuts (Demanding work hours; shift in priority)
Active membership
• Representation
Are Young BPWs serving on Boards?
Young BPW Representative nominated vs. elected
• Understanding of the role of Young BPWs
Total independence and disconnect from mother club in certain member
countries
Young BPWs are BPW members; the only distinguishing factor is age
Young members must at all times remain involved and a part of a
Federation/Associate club
