Women's Bridge is on the Map!
SUMMARY OF THE NATIONAL BRIDGE ORGANIZATIONS (NBO) SEMINAR HELD IN DUBROVNIK FEBRUARY 2024, FROM OUR POINT OF VIEW.
The NBO seminar, organized by the EBL, is a particularly important conference, not only in terms of networking, but mainly serves as a platform to exchange views, opinions, new initiatives, and understand the trends and evolving processes in the world of Bridge where we all can meet the challenges head on together, towards finding the best operative solutions.
It was a pleasure to finally meet many of the Women's Coordinators, face to face, to put faces to names and discuss important topics, common to us all and this time, not through a computer screen.
Women's Bridge in the seminar
Women's Bridge played an important central role in the seminar's program.
One of the highlights of the conference was awarding a certificate of appreciation and the title of "Women's Coordinator of the Year 2023" to Helle Rasmussen, the Danish Women's Coordinator.
Helle had a significant contribution to promoting Women's Bridge in Denmark and in Europe and we wanted to acknowledge her sterling and dedicated work.
In addition, we were encouraged to discover that the WBC's actions and spirit is being embraced by the NBOs and has motivated substantial change and actions, which are already noticeable.
WBC's plan for 2024
In the seminar we also presented the WBC's plans for 2024, including:
👉 Opening another tournament of Online Training Program for women (starting March 2024)
👉 Holding the 1st Online Women's Team European Championship (beginning June 2024),
👉 Holding the 2nd Women's Champion's Cup (November 2024)
👉Presenting a new Women's fund for assisting and supporting organizations in promoting Women's Bridge and much more.
