Mission and programs · 2024

• FWPO CONTINUED PROVIDING ITS SPARK PROGRAM BY HARVARD BUSINESS PUBLISHING, TO ALL CHAPTER CHAIRS, AND WPO MEMBERS AT NO ADDITIONAL COST TO THEIR EXISTING MEMBERSHIP. SPARK IS A FLEXIBLE ONLINE PROGRAM WHICH CONTAINS ACCESS TO 18,500+ ARTICLES, 1630+ VIDEOS, 1500+ PODCASTS, 700+ HBR CASES, AND THE ABILITY TO SELF-CURATE CUSTOMIZED LEARNING PATHS. IN 2023, WE LAUNCHED A SUPPLEMENTARY TOOL FOR CHAPTER CHAIRS TO DELIVER RELEVANT, ENGAGING CONTENT AT CHAPTER MEETINGS USING SPARK RESOURCES, CALLED SPARK KITS. THE KITS ARE TOPICAL-BASED OVERVIEWS CONTAINING SUMMARIES OF SPARK CONTENT, DISCUSSION STARTERS AND KEY RESOURCES, WITH FACILITATION INSTRUCTIONS. THE FWPO HAS CONTINUED THE LEADING BUSINESS AND PERSONAL TRANSITIONS PROGRAM LAUNCHED AT HARVARD BUSINESS SCHOOL (HBS) IN 2023. TTHIS PROGRAM, CREATED AND LED BY THE EXCEPTIONAL PROFESSORS LYNDA APPLEGATE AND DAVID AGER, WAS DESIGNED SPECIFICALLY FOR WPO. THIS RARE OPPORTUNITY ALLOWED WPO MEMBERS TO LEARN FROM TOP PROFESSORS AT HBS AND HAVE ENRICHING DISCUSSIONS WITH OTHER WOMEN BUSINESS OWNERS.

• COMMUNICATION AND OUTREACH.

As filed on the 2024 return. The filer continues this part on Schedule O, which is not shown here.

Listed in Part VII

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.

Schedule J

Part I's answers as filed. A line not listed was left unanswered; on lines 1a and 3 that means the box was not checked.
