With much gratitude and appreciation for your unwavering support and dedication throughout our journey, we wanted to share an important announcement with you today. It is with mixed emotions that we inform you of an ending partnership with the UN Global Compact, albeit a change that brings forth new horizons and opportunities for growth.
Due to internal structural changes at the UN Global Compact and a shift in their approach to non-profit and non-governmental work for their Non-Profit members, we have made the decision to embark on an independent path. This decision was reached after careful consideration, alignment with our organization’s mission, and our commitment to providing the utmost support to the remarkable individuals within our community.
We understand this news may come as a surprise to some, and we want to assure you that we are working diligently to ensure a smooth transition. Strong foundations have already been laid, and our intention is to continue serving our community with unwavering passion and dedication. Together, we will navigate the next steps on this inspiring journey.
While we have yet to share all the details of our decision, we want to emphasize that throughout the process, our core motivation remains firmly rooted in the progress and wellbeing of our GWSE community. We recognize the transformative power that lies within each member of our community, and this transition signifies an opportunity for increased collaboration and innovation.
Change, as daunting as it may seem, often paves the way for growth and creative exploration. We firmly believe that our decision to become an independent entity will enable us to chart our own course, pursue our own initiatives, and expand our impact in ways that align even more closely with our shared vision.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to each and every one of you for standing by our side during this transition. Your continued support, enthusiasm, and commitment to empowering women and promoting sustainable practices have been instrumental in shaping our journey thus far. None of this would have been possible without your indomitable spirit.
Together, let us embrace this new chapter with open hearts and resolute determination. Our united efforts will propel us forward, propelling GWSE and its mission to even greater heights.
As always, we welcome your ideas, input, and participation as we set forth on this exciting new path. We firmly believe that the work must continue. We will keep you updated, and, in turn, we encourage you to stay connected with our community to continue driving change, inspiring one another, and creating a better future for all.
Thank you once again for your unwavering support. Together, we truly can make a significant difference.
With profound gratitude,
Faith
GWSE Team
