A Very Productive FAPW Country Coordinators Meeting
Today, the FAPW Working Group and Country Coordinators of 21 FAPW member countries came together for a very productive and engaging meeting. It was wonderful to reconnect, share ideas, and discuss our plans for the 2026–2029 triennium.
Our agenda covered a wide range of important topics, including the FAPW Strategy, action priorities, funded projects, finances, record keeping, Chapter support, promotion of FAPW, and strengthening communication and administration across our network.
We were honoured to hear inspiring words from our Founder, Dr. Juseon Byun, whose vision continues to guide and motivate our work. A special thank you also to Lynne Price, Chair of the FAPW Working Group, for leading and facilitating today’s meeting with such dedication, clarity, and enthusiasm.
Thank you to all the Country Coordinators and Working Group members for your valuable contributions, commitment, and collaborative spirit. Together, we are building a stronger future for Friends of Asia Pacific WAGGGS and supporting Girl Guiding and Girl Scouting across our region.
