CFUW Women Connecting Across Canada
CFUW is a dynamic organization that empowers its members to develop their talents, contribute to its mission, and build lasting connections. CFUW has talent—and we want to showcase it! Nominate your Club or another Club to take part in a fun and inspiring Talent Showcase during our remote AGM on Friday evening, July 11, 2025.
What are we looking for? A short performance—such as a song, poem, or short play—that reflects CFUW spirit and creativity. The full talent segment will be no longer than 15 minutes, so we expect to feature up to two performances.
Too many great entries? Wonderful! We may include additional performances at events throughout the year, including our in-person AGM in Montreal in July 2026.
Special Monday Membership Moment (MMM7) Monday, June 2 4-5:30 EDT “So, I’m on the Executive, now what???
