From the president desk – March 2020
Communities fuel us in more ways than we realize. They are people sharing our joys and supporting us through struggles but also places to give and to belong.
As we reflect on how communities impact our lives, we would like to celebrate the one we share, the Family Network. Global and local at the same time, unique through its diversity, understanding, supportive, cradle of great friendships and continuous learning, WBFN is a treasure for us and our dear ones that we enrich daily by bonding together.
Cheers to all of us for making it real!
Come join us for the WBFN Open House and celebrate this amazing community together with our partners, spend some time with friends, and meet new ones! We are waiting for you. All the details are on our website.
If you have at home a soon-to-become young adult, have a look at the Teen Summer Program! The application period for the DC session is opened for a few more days. Teen Summer Program is a unique opportunity for our youth to connect to others sharing the same kind of experience and to learn more about International Development Organization. We are very excited this year as the program will also be run in Delhi India in May, thanks to the engagement and tireless work of the WBFN teams locally.
Finally, as the year goes on, it is already time to build the team that will lead the Family Network through the next cycle. The nominating committee is currently interviewing the candidates and preparing the Executive Committee slate for Fiscal Year 2021. A huge thank you to the people who applied and offered to put their skills to the service of our community. We are very grateful for your engagement. The FY21 slate will be presented to the full membership in March for vote. Stay tuned!
With our warmest regards,
Padmini and Marie-Noëlle
