Welcome to the 2022-2024 GFWC/CT Administration
I am honored and proud to serve as your GFWC/CT State President for the next administration 2022-2024. I have already received outstanding support from the State GFWC/CT Members in joining this administration in the roles of State Officers, District Officers, Club Presidents and taking on chair positions. I am appreciative of every Member of our GFWC/CT Clubs and appreciate all of the service you contribute in our communities! The General Federation of Women’s Clubs is one of the world’s largest women’s organizations dedicated to community improvement through volunteer service. Our Connecticut Clubs do some of the most wonderful projects promoting education, healthy lifestyles, civic involvement and work towards promoting world peace and understanding. As a Member of my “home” Club in Madison along the shoreline for more than 30 years those examples have always proven steadfast! I decided to select a symbol of the “beach” to honor my sisters from the Madison Club. The theme for the administration is;
“Individually we are one wave-together we are an ocean!”
The impact that we have when working together is tremendous. I hope to guide our members into more leadership roles and opportunities. Dedication and growth to membership including new recruitment of members and retaining members is paramount. We do need to share our organization with the public and make them aware of our achievements and celebrate our success! Our Executive Board is eager to modernize and improve some of our processes and I will support and guide them.
Women’s Health and Wellness is of special interest to me and I would like that to be our State Project. The options are vast and feel free to go in a direction that inspires you. The world has faced many challenges, especially related to health recently. When we have a healthy body, we have positive energy and can achieve many goals. So may you all be blessed with health and success!
I thank you for being my friends and sisters in Federation! Thank you again for all you do in the lives of others and placing your confidence in me!
Yours in Federation,
Katherine DeBurra, President
