Aaah, the holidays. That magical time of year when everything seems to revolve around gifts. Here's an easy gift you can give everyone you encounter, as soon as you meet them: Your name!
When I was new to the Keys community a few years ago, the only person I knew was my realtor. So anytime I met someone wearing a name tag, it felt like a gift. Conversation was much more relaxed because I didn’t have to keep repeating their name over and over in my mind to remember it. And back home, they automatically got added to the very short list of people I could say I knew here.
Some people get a name tag from their work. Some people get more than one and proudly wear them all to represent the different hats they wear professionally and for volunteer organizations. Other folks might not have a a reason to have a physical name tag at all.
One of the unique ways that BPW serves working women is through personal support and connection. That’s why we give all new BPW members the opportunity to order a personalized name tag.
At this moment, our organization has well over 100 members. I wish I knew everyone well enough to put a name with every single member’s face right now. But I know I can’t!
Whether you’re one of the newbies or an old-timer –or someone in between- give me and others the gift of your name by wearing your name tag at an upcoming BPW event.
Next week’s Holiday Party will be a great time to wear it – it’s so chic, it goes with everything!
I hope you’ll use your BPW name tag for other community events too. At the end of the day, BPW is not just an acronym. It’s not just an organization that’s been supporting working women here in the Keys for the last 67 years.
BPW is me! And it’s you!
It says so, right there on our name tags!!
