Answers to Frequently Asked Questions

Hi Linda-

I have attached each of the Frequently Asked Questions so that you might put them on the blog…this info was just sent out this weekend and is available on the BPW/USA website…I want all to have all information possible prior to voting.

I have also informed Barb Henton, Past National President of the website and asked her to help me in explaining any of the concerns posted so that I can be prepared to present information at state conference.

I am not saying I am going to urge everyone to vote for or against the merger, I like Sharon, would like everyone to be well informed before voting so they can each make their own choice.

Thanks.

Sandy Majchrzak, BPW/USA Area 5 Rep

In answering the questions it states: "The July 1 effective date
would permit state federations to complete their state conventions and allow the opportunity to fully explain the merger to members"

This would be great if the vote was delayed until all issues of the merger could be explained at all the state conventions.

Interesting that they have to take a vote by May 5 before the issue can be fully explained. Whats the rush to vote?

I find it interesting that national leaders are restricted from addressing the state conventions and "they not speak in any official capacity on behalf of the BPW Foundation or BPW/USA about the plan of merger." (Frequently Asked Questions, National Representative Program.) The explanation: the vote will be held by the time most of the state conventions are held.
