Dear BPW Colleagues, |
| |
The best thing about the Fall is the fresh air. I sometimes
imagine that when I breathe in I am cleansing my lungs. The
crisp freshness is just so inviting, almost addictive. Breathe
in the cool breath deep into your lungs; actually stretch the
lungs with your large deep breath. Isn't it amazing? Deep
breathing is a form of clearing out many things, deep emotional,
pain in muscles, cob webs in your brain etc.
Take advantage of the refreshing air in the next couple months,
appreciate the nature and the changes right in front of your
eyes! Fresh apples, and pumpkins, beautiful colors of leaves,
and maybe even a hayride or corn maze. Fall is a time to renew
and prepare. It is a time for slowing down and contemplating the
creativity in each one of us.
Fall is also a good time to look at your business, image new
goals, and figure out what kind of changes you would like to see
by next spring. Fall is a time of harvesting and planning for
the next season, cover the plants, rake up the rubbish from the
Fall and let your mind go crazy with inspiration.
At BPW we want to support you in your growth. We want to share
with our visitors that we are a diverse and dynamic group of
women. We welcome women who want to grow their businesses, their
relationships and their networking skills.
Please join us every month for our meetings. Fun, food and
fellowship!
Sincerely,
Barb Tremlett
BPW of Nashua President 2010-2011

Member's Spotlight by Nancy Baughman |

Susan Cooke was a member of BPW prior to the Nashua
organization being formed. At the start of the Nashua BPW, Susan
volunteered as secretary. From there she moved up to president
and since that time has served four terms as president and many
years as Chairperson of the Program Committee.
Susan has been a financial planner with Granite State Financial
Services for over 23 years. Working primarily with families and
small business owners, Susan prides herself on developing long
term relationships by providing quality service, and offering
objective solutions to meet both the short and long term needs
of clients.
A graduate of the University of Vermont and Johnson State

Her hobbies include: travel, music, gardening, skiing, biking,
kayaking, going to the beach, shopping, volunteer work in her
community, time with friends and family..
Why BPW?.
"Because, I meet new women that I may not have ever had the
chance to meet; and then I see them at other events. I don't
look for business at BPW, although the business that comes from
it is nice, but instead a time to meet other professional women
and form a relationship with them. Some have become very close
friends of mine. Some I have been able to use as a resource for
me personally or in my profession. Most of the people I have
become close to have been as a result of me being on a committee
and on the Board. This is where you can really see people shine
and form a more intimate relationship with them. The meetings
allow me the opportunity to meet someone new, listen to an
informative speaker and have a terrific lunch with a group of
incredible women."
