Empowering Women in California

You are here: Home / Archives for 2022-2023 Webinars

We developed a series of online workshops to take advantage of the tremendous opportunity to reach our branches and members through videoconferencing. We are elated that these workshops are an expansion of the prior in-person Leadership Development Days. They relate to the four California priorities with a “how to” focus and are open to members as well as branch leaders.

6/13/2023 5 pm - 7 pm Branch Officer Report Transition Support Hours
The state BOR is the Branch Officers Report, the critical collection of all your branch officers’ and leaders’ names, positions, and contact information. It’s used for all our communications to you. We don’t share National’s database of branch leaders, so we must collect it separately.

We have been hard at work behind the scenes replacing the aging BOR system with a NEW and IMPROVED  version!  It can do a few more fancy things, so we’re sure you’ll love it. The new system is on target and will be launched on June 1st.
