Greenville, OH. The Individual Development Program (IDP) Committee of the Greenville Business & Professional Women’s (BPW) Club hosted the November 13th meeting which was held at the Brethren Retirement Center.

The IDP committee consisted of Jane Carroll, Andria Haworth and Marilyn Emmons. Committee chair Jane Carroll was the featured speaker for the evening. Jane believes it is imperative that women take care of themselves while nurturing their careers and families. Carroll attended a wellness workshop with one topic addressing maintaining balance in your life. One practice is to engage in a type of physical writing…perhaps a daily journal. A favorite Ernest Hemmingway line of Jane’s is ‘Say what I want to say’. Carroll challenged the group to write a memoir of their life in 6 words. Several in attendance took part in the exercise and shared their ‘memoirs’.

The Greenville BPW Club’s mission is to achieve equity for all women in the workplace through advocacy, education, and information. The Club holds fund raisers throughout the year to raise money to grant scholarships to the young women of Darke County. The Club meets the second Thursday of every month for a dinner meeting.
