Rumor has it that the energy of the planet is now feminine. I shout ‘hooray’ at such news!
It’s time women, who embody the feminine, come into our own. Time our wisdom, strength, courage, care & nourishment spread across the world. Time we’re generally recognized for who we are & what we bring – of a positive nature – to the lives of others.
JANUARY 1, 2010 begins a new decade!
This truly is the best time for women everywhere to be honored & recognized – not only for who we are as women – but for what we’ve done to positively enrich the lives of others. What we’ve done to encourage others to find their purpose in life & live it to the full.
WHO Will Spearhead Such An Effort?
Affiliated Women Intl™ is a growing organization that launched face 2 face women’s groups in Indianapolis, Indiana a little over a year ago. First we took to cyberspace to help women world wide connect with each other virtually. Then we determined that online connecting would never replace “face to face”. So we developed a model & format to bring women – all women from all walks of life – together to enrich, encourage, equip & empower each other. We recently stepped outside our comfort zone to go nationwide & launched “Neighborhood Networks” in Tulsa, Oklahoma, with Oklahoma City to follow shortly.
HOW IN world . . .?
Just weeks ago, the CEO and chief visionary officer for AWI, penned a blog post at our online community – THE CONNECTION STATION – declaring “2010 as The Year of the Woman”! In fact, she says, we just may make it the “Decade of the Woman”!
With those words ringing in our ears, we’ve set out to make it happen! To make 2010 a year in which women are recognized & honored for their many accomplishments. Accomplishments that often go unnoticed.
A CELEBRATION of Women –
To celebrate women – who we are & all that we do – Affiliated Women (AWI) is initiating a series of major special events around the country.
The energetic, vibrant “Toasts” to Women will feature special recognition of women who represent great courage in the face of insurmountable odds (“The Spirit of Woman” award) & women who exemplify the excellence to be found in every woman (“The Woman of Excellence” award).
AWI kicked off these dynamic events by organizing a steering committee which is helping to launch the Decade of the Woman in late October. New York City is the scene of our inaugural event which launches year 1 of the Decade initiative. 2010-2011 culminates with an event in Omaha, Nebraska, June, 2011.
WHERE WE’LL CELEBRATE –
CONFIRMED 2010 ~ 2011 locations are: TULSA & OKLAHOMA CITY, Oklahoma; NEW YORK CITY, New York; CHARLOTTE, North Carolina & Omaha, Nebraska.
Additional sites will be added each year until Affiliated Women and The Decade of the Woman have covered a large area of the United States, Canada. . . and who knows – perhaps we’ll go across the pond as well!
HOW YOU CAN PARTICIPATE –
The AWI Leadership Team is currently interviewing women for a National Steering Committee who will develop & oversee these awesome, exciting events across the nation.
