FWN's 5th Annual Filipina Summit "FILIPINA VOICES: CHANGING THE FACE OF POWER IN AMERICA"

 

Oct. 25 -27, 2007

Washington D. C.

 

A Learning Journey To The Center of Power


More than a field trip, symposium or forum, Learning Journeys immerse us in the reality – and long-range implications – of the
politics of government. These experiences enable us to deepen, accelerate, and internalize our own learning about the business of government, advocacy and policy-making.

Learning Journeys reflect our conviction that the most powerful learning
occurs through experience and interaction, not from books or speeches.

“A desk is a dangerous
place from which
to view the world.”
 - John LeCarre

SUMMIT HIGHLIGHTS:

  • Conversations with women elected / appointed officials
  • Meet member of Congress at the Capitol
  • Visit The White House
  • Filipina Power 2012: The Game Plan
  • Recognition of the 100 Most Influential Filipina Women in the U.S. - Gala Awards Thursday, Oct 25, 2007
  • Reception with the Philippine Ambassador Gaa and Madame Erlinda Gaa at the Philippine Embassy

 

FILIPINA "PINAY" POWER 2012:  Changing the face of power in America
Developing tomorrow’s Filipina leaders today

We received 202 nominations for the Filipina Women's Network's (FWN) nationwide search for the 100 Most Influential Filipina Women in the U.S.   Pinay Power 2012 is a dream with a meaningful purpose - double the number of Filipina women leaders by 2012.  To achieve this goal, we launched the nationwide search to identify the Top 100 Filipina women who are shaping our community’s influence in American society today and how they are impacting our future. 

To view the nominee list online, go to - http://www.ffwn.org/InfluentialNominees.htm

This prestigious recognition is conceived as a working award - the Top 100 are invited to womantor a protégée and both leaders are invited to return to the Filipina Summit in October 2012 to celebrate their partnership. 

The announcement of the Top 100 list is the highlight of the 5th Annual Filipina Summit which will be held October 25-27, 2007 in Washington D.C.   We have designed two events to honor the Top 100's outstanding work -

1)  Gala awards dinner on Thursday evening, October 25, 2007  (Filipina attire / formal; Barong Tagalog / black tie)

2)  "Kwentuhan" - the power of telling our personal and community stories and how to develop your community legacy by partnering with a Filipina protégée - Friday evening, October 26, 2007

We hope you can attend the Filipina Summit and be part of this historic event - a gathering of 100 Filipina Voices in Washington, DC - changing the face of power in America.

  =================================

PURPOSE OF THE FILIPINA SUMMIT
Every year, the Filipina Women's Network (FWN) brings together Filipina women, corporate America's untapped source of leadership at a time when economic, social and political challenges demand new levels of talent and innovation. FWN strives to meet this demand by providing Filipina women the knowledge and resources and by building a network of women who dare to change the landscape of the leadership in today's workplace.  FWN's Filipina Summit is held in October in celebration of Filipino Heritage Month.  Please join us in three days of compelling conversations on what it takes to lead change and initiate re-invention.

 
=================================
ABOUT FWN
The Filipina Women's Network (FWN) is the non-profit association for women of Philippine ancestry. FWN provides educational resources through publications, lectures, activities, and programs to further the professional and personal development of its members.  FWN strives to

  • enhance public perceptions of Filipina women's capacities to lead,
  • change biases against Filipina women's leadership abilities and
  • promote the entry of Filipina women into positions of leadership in corporate, government, and nonprofit sectors.

FWN achieves these goals through public education forums, community and corporate outreach, research on Filipina women's issues, leadership and skill-building/career development programs for Filipina women, and influencing popular culture.   FWN's current membership represents Filipina women from corporations, government and nonprofit sectors including organizations who support FWN's mission.

Why Our Meetings Are Different
FWN provides Filipina women with opportunities to share practical career and business experiences. This focus on actual career and business experiences, rather than theory, from practitioners, corporate managers and leaders, along with peer networking, are the distinguishing features of FWN meetings.

FILIPINA POWER 2012
We received 202 nominations for the Filipina Women's Network's (FWN) nationwide search for the 100 Most Influential Filipina Women in the U.S.   Pinay Power 2012 is a dream with a meaningful purpose - double the number of Filipina women leaders by 2012.

Pinay Power 2012 is a strategic step in changing public perceptions of Filipina women's capacities to lead, innovate, and influence society.  The recognition program provides the Filipina American community a unique opportunity to honor the dedication and vision of those individuals who contribute to and participate in strengthening our community's competitiveness in the global marketplace.  By bringing together Filipina women who have shifted the course of events in their own areas of influence through ideas, activities, or interactions using persuasion, advice or street smarts, we effectively capitalize their influence and intellect for the benefit of our community and fellow Filipinas.
