Why did you join BPW?	The President invited me to be the guest speaker - what an attentive audience.  The next month was their Christmas meeting, not one to miss out on a good time I attended - it was lively, warm, friendly, inviting - I joined.  In the past I have joined groups for what I could get from them.  I joined BPW for friendship and to be part of an organization that worldwide makes a difference.  Personally and business wise I have had exceptional support, members attending workshops and retreats and many referrals.
