Dear WiNUP Members/Colleagues,
We’ve officially entered the second half of the year—and as we all know, once that realization hits, time seems to fly! As we head into the busiest season, I hope each of you finds energy, purpose, and joy in the months ahead. Don’t let time be a thief—be the boss of it!
First, I want to sincerely thank you for your continued contributions, participation, and support of WiNUP this year. I understand the challenge of balancing multiple responsibilities, and I truly appreciate you for keeping WiNUP part of your journey. Your dedication has helped us make meaningful progress in sustainability, membership value, industry visibility, networking, and growth and retention—all leading up to our annual conference.
If you haven’t yet committed to attending, I encourage you to prioritize this year’s WiNUP Annual Conference in Pittsburgh, September 29–October 1. This year’s theme, Bridging Women Together, promises powerful networking, learning, and inspiration. It’s an opportunity to connect, grow, and celebrate the impact we’re making together.
Let’s finish the year strong. Thank you again for your trust in me, our Executive Committee, and our International Board. Together, we can reach new heights and make 2025 a remarkable chapter in WiNUP’s story.
In closing, I leave you with the words of Dolly Parton:
“Find out who you are. And do it on purpose.”
Warm Regards,
Trishia Swayne
2025 WiNUP President
