Dear Members

I am amazed that I am writing the MAY newsletter. May is an exciting Month for us here as we process the nominations for our Regional Business Achievers Awards, we have some wonderful candidates and we look forward to the Judging and filming that will take place in the run up to the announcement of the category winners on the 5th of June at our Gala Dinner. I do hope you will join us to celebrate these phenomenal women.

We have our usual Business Card Hours and our Conversations with Women in Port Elizabeth with additional Business Card Hours in Uitenhage and in Grahamstown on the 8th and 10th Respectively and I hope to see our members there.

Recently we held our Grade 12 workshop for 120 girls from 12 different schools in and around Port Elizabeth. These sessions are so beneficial to these young ladies and we are always thrilled to see the interaction and enthusiasm they express when taking part. If you are looking to become involved in a CSI project. Look no further. Speak to us as we have a few different initiatives and there is sure to be something to suit you.

I wish you a bumper May month and wish all our Mothers a Happy Mothers Day.
