President’s Message
I am excited about the next two years as your state president! Together we can build a better world by volunteering in our local communities.  We are individuals who form a network of helping hands and compassion that collectively affect change in other’s lives.  Federation clubs provide us with a network of women whose chief aim is to promote community improvement and promote lasting relationships with each other. 

The materials provided by GFWC and GFWC-Arizona are the stepping stones by which our clubs should build their projects and programs upon.  Please utilize them in your clubs so that all members can see the benefits of belonging to our great organization!

I encourage club leaders to promote active, participatory leadership training in their clubs so that the tradition of service continues through motivated and educated club leaders.  Encourage club members, both new and veteran, to attend GFWC-Arizona district and state meetings.  Plan a group trip to attend a GFWC region meeting!  Nothing motivates more than being around excited club members sharing ideas and brainstorming about club work.

Build a better world!  Construct a brighter future!  Mold a future leader!  Working together, each of us is one piece of the puzzle that will fit together to make GFWC-Arizona proud.  I look forward to the next two years!

In Federation Friendship,

Debbie Grieder
2008 – 2010 State President
