Dear BOSLady friends and colleagues,

BOSLady has been an important part of my life since its creation two and a half years ago. I always looked forward to seeing everyone at the monthly meeting, to the new perspectives that gave my mind new places to go, and to unexpected friendships.

I knew it would change for me when I moved out west, and it drastically changed for everyone with quarantine. Now, arguably, when we need community and support more than ever, BOSLady can easily feel like just another Zoom call, just another email to keep you at your screen.

Many of us hoped that our Boston based group would provide a template for like minded people to follow, to encourage others to create their own empowering communities. How can we inject life back into ours?

This is what we are proposing:

Starting in the month of April, each month will be “hosted” by a different person. That person will select what we read and the time and date of the meeting, inviting two or three new friends or coworkers to join. The week of the meeting they can send out the Monday letter telling everyone what to expect for that week’s event and will run it.

If that sounds like too much, it can be altered in whatever way you choose. But it gets us back to new people, new ideas and new direction. Let’s get this back up and running.

Who’s got April?
