From the President’s desk…
Happy New Year! As we welcome 2026, I want to send you my warmest wishes for a year brimming with joyful moments and exciting new possibilities. The start of a new year often inspires us to set New Year’s resolutions—a gentle promise to ourselves to grow or bring about positive changes. Maybe you’re thinking of starting something fresh, tweaking old routines, or tackling a difficult decision. No matter your goals, these resolutions can help us move forward. I know from experience that sticking with resolutions isn’t always easy, but every January offers an excellent opportunity to start anew and realize our potential. Here’s to a fulfilling and uplifting year ahead!
As WI approaches its 129th anniversary, it's a wonderful opportunity to reflect on our journey. We might ask ourselves: Which directions should we explore next? What priorities truly matter to us now? Are there any areas where a little strategic rethinking could help us grow? Although these questions remain on the table, they inspire us to keep the conversation going and stay connected as we, collectively, look to the future.
For over a hundred years, WI has dedicated itself to supporting resolutions that enrich the lives of women and families. Our FWIC archive of past resolutions highlights our members' innovative spirit and strong commitment. Their remarkable legacy inspires us to focus on truly important issues, such as creating safe spaces for infants, providing police with training on domestic abuse, advocating for more substantial penalties against human trafficking, and expanding inclusive services for transgender individuals. We warmly invite you to consider which topics should be at the forefront of future resolutions. If you have ideas to share or want to help craft resolutions, please don't hesitate to reach out to the Resolutions Committee or me—we’d be delighted to hear from you. And remember, new committee members are always very welcome!
Looking ahead to the new year, we're excited about the many opportunities to grow, sharpen our goals, and continue advocating effectively. We truly appreciate your insights, teamwork, and enthusiasm as we work together to achieve even greater progress.
Wishing you a wonderful new year filled with fresh motivation and a sense of pride in our shared achievements. Thank you so much for your ongoing dedication to WI.
Wishing you health, fulfillment, and collective success in the year ahead.
