MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT

Dear members and visitors to our site,

Many of us have already celebrated the new year and now that the Chinese New Year is being celebrated across the globe I felt it was appropriate to wish everyone a happy prosperous and peaceful 2012.

2012 is an exciting year for IAWP. In February members of the Board of Directors will be visiting Abu Dhabi, capital of the United Arab Emirates as guests of His Highness Lieutenant General Sheikh Sarif Bin Zayed Al Nahyan and our first Middle East Affiliate, The Emirates Women Police Association, EWPA, who will be hosting the first International Police Women's conference in the region (16). During our stay the EWPA will be presented with their certificate of affiliation and we look forward to meeting and networking with many women officers within the region.

In March the Board of Directors will be attending the early board meeting in Dhaka, Bangladesh, as guests of the Bangladesh Police Women's Network, BPWN and following the meeting will join members of BPWN and other women officers from across Asia, Region 15, for a two day conference culminating in a celebration of International Women's Day on the 8th March.

Both the above visits will make history for IAWP and demonstrates our ongoing commitment to reach out to women in law enforcement across the globe in line with our Mission, Vision and Values. I want to pay tribute to the current board of directors for supporting me in my aim to reflect the truly International nature of the IAWP.

2012 is also a very important year for IAWP as it is the 50th anniversary of our own training conference, in September we travel to St. Johns, Newfoundland, Canada when yet again we can enjoy excellent training, networking and the rekindling of old friendships as well as the making of new ones. I hope you will decide to join us there, further details can be found on this web site by following the conference link.

Finally 2012 is election year for IAWP and I would encourage all members to be involved, consider running for office yourself, details can be found in Policy 9, and certainly make sure you cast your vote. This is your organisation and the board of directors elected in 2012 will be responsible for developing your organisation for the next 3 years.

All the best for 2012.

Jane Townsley,
President

THANK YOU!

We were especially pleased to have The Honorable United Nations Deputy Secretary-General Dr. Asha-Rose Migiro of Tanzania speak to the IAWP delegates at the Annual Conference.  Read more about this international leader here.  In addition, the presentation by the United Nations on their world-wide mission, combined with the United Nations (UN) and the IAWP providing an on-site opportunity for IAWP delegates to be assessed for participation in UN Police Peacekeeping deployment operations, was a first.

Look toward IAWP2012 September 7-14, 2012, in St. John's, NL. This is the first time the IAWP Annual Training Conference will be held in Atlantic Canada.
