Membership session
\nChaired by Dishi Attwood,\u00a0Federation membership Director<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The session began with Carolein Demey SI Europe President explaining how their European ethics has been to create an attractive organisation.\u00a0Last year they only lost 37 members where previous years have been 300-400 They have been working on a Leadership Academy creating a \u201csafe space for change\u201d<\/p>\n

Academies have been held using existing members to mentor and teach younger women in subjects like budgeting, self awareness, body language and communication skills.\u00a0This has directly led to two new e-clubs.<\/p>\n

SIGBI will be piloting our own Academy facilitating 10 women who have received grants from the Diamond Education Fund. They will receive 8 sessions via Zoom.<\/p>\n

We heard from a mentor who had helped a recipient of a grant which illustrated its importance and the need for us to support it by donation.<\/p>\n

Six new clubs have been chartered in the last year and each President gave a short presentation I have taken one point from each.<\/p>\n
