GFWC/IOWA PRESIDENT'S
MESSAGE
The 2010-2012 GFWC/Iowa Administration will have many challenges in the next two years.
The officers of this administration are welcoming the challenges with enthusiasm and energy to promote leadership,
membership and programming on a grass roots level.
I’ve chosen as the theme for the 2010-2012 administration, “Be a Beacon for
GFWC/Iowa”
and the symbol is the ‘lighthouse’, bringing light to all of us who are doing the work of GFWC/Iowa. The President’s
Special Project will be ‘Advocates for Youth’ not be confused with Advocates for Children which is a GFWC project
and women’s advocacy issues.
Finances are dependent on membership. In order to retain and maintain our
clubs and members, the officers, district directors or past state presidents will be visiting every club in the state. This
will be the top priority during this administration. If you do not invite us, we will be contacting the president of the club
to determine a time for our arrival at a club meeting.
We will be communicating, large or small in content, more often than ever before.
That person or
more than one person in your club that has an e-mail address will be receiving information more regularly and we ask that
that person distribute the information by copying it or making notes regarding the information and sharing it with all club
members. Even if you are not the club president, every member for whom we have
an e-mail address will be hearing from us.
I look forward
to meeting with each of you at your club meetings, and at district
conventions and the GFWC/Iowa State Conventions.
