Friends Benefits
Recognition and connection at BPW International Congress
BPW International thanks our Friends & Fellows at BPW International Congress each triennium by inviting them to attend Friends & Fellows Dinners. Today this dinner is called Livia Ricci’s Friends and Fellows Dinners to honor our Past International President Livia Ricci, who was dedicated to promoting BPW International’s Friends & Fellows program.
This dinner is often held at a very special place. For example, at the XXIX BPW International Congress 2017, at the Golden Hall, Manial Palace, Cairo. In October 2008, it was held at Frida Kahlo Museum.
Beside the dinner, each BPW Friends & Fellows receives a special pin.
