President’s Message

I am truly humbled to once again serve as President of BPW St. Kitts, having held this esteemed position a decade ago. What makes this moment even more meaningful is learning that I now follow in the footsteps of our founding president, Ms. Pam Wall, who also served two terms, ten years apart. It is on her shoulders that I proudly stand today, bringing with me renewed purpose and the wealth of experience gained at both the regional and international levels of BPW.

By divine alignment, what I like to call a Godincidence, we have assembled a dynamic and committed executive team for the year ahead. Without meticulous planning, yet guided by purpose, we are already moving forward in the spirit of the international theme for this triennium: Inspire, Innovate, Empower, and Transform. These are not just words — they are our call to action for the women and girls of this nation, and especially for the members of BPW St. Kitts.

 Our mantra remains: Reaching inward to stretch outward. As such, one of our immediate goals is to strengthen our foundation through developmental sessions that will allow our members to truly shine. Over the next year we will focused on team building and mobilising our committees — the lifeblood of BPW — to begin working toward our goals for the year.

Committees are the engine that drives this organisation. Once they are fully activated, the reporting and approval process becomes seamless. It is important to note that no committee functions in isolation. All must collaborate closely with each other, the executive, and the general membership. In unity, we rise, and in that same spirit of unity, we must ensure that for every initiative, the established protocols are followed. Regardless of which committee initiates an event or idea, the collective effort of one BPW St. Kitts is required.

We are also proud to have our foundation, the BPW St. Kitts affiliate which withstood the last fifty (50) years and look forward to working even more closely with our sister affiliates in Liamuiga and Nevis. Our intention is to lay the groundwork for forming a BPW Federation of St. Kitts and Nevis — a move that would further strengthen our collective voice and presence.

Together we can. Together we will. We will continue to inspire one another, foster innovation, and empower women and girls, transforming lives and shaping a stronger society.  We look forward to collaborating with all — seasoned members, new recruits, entrepreneurs, the corporate sector, and our government partners, as we pool our resources along the pathway to progress.

As we stand on the threshold of our Golden Anniversary, we remain committed to using the assets and lessons acquired over the past 50 years to build a brighter and more impactful BPW St. Kitts for tomorrow.
