This year the President would like to take the time and encourage members to help in creating and advertising the 97th State Convention. Forms for program ads, sponsorships, and exhibitors are available. Communication needs to go out to all members and guests so we may have viable and learning experience this year. One that will make memories to last and friendships to grow.
At this time Madame President is looking for members to volunteer to help at Convention. Volunteers will help with Silent Auction and at the Registration table. Also in need or Credentials Chair, pages, floor-tellers, and timekeepers. Please contact her by email president@bpwtn.org or by phone (865) 250-8149.
I am looking forward to our State Convention and hope all of you will join me for fun, laughter, business, and welcoming our New 2016-2017 State President and State Officers.

Thank you for your time,
Lee Ann Gaddis
BPW/TN State President
