Being a member of Welcome to Colorado International Club has opened my eyes and mind to a better understanding of the world around me. We may use different spices in our foods and we may look different, but in our hearts, we all want to be treated as equals. Thank you WTCI for this opportunity!

It's lovely to have sisters who'd make cultural education so natural on a worldwide basis. You can make it happen by being a member of WCI.

Belonging to a club such as the International Women's Club of Porto Alegre was a great goal of mine. At the Club, we develop long-lasting friendships and we help people in need.

Conferences
Exciting International Conferences occur every two years.
The conferences play a major role in bringing together the members of all clubs to foster lifelong relations between women of diverse cultures.
Each International Conference is hosted by a member club. The host club is responsible for the planning of cultural and social events surrounding the conference. These events and tours are designed to showcase the host club's country and culture and give all attendees a better understanding of the history and traditions of the region.
Knowledgeable speakers present a range of topics, including the changing social status of women, economics, science, and current affairs. WCI International Conferences open the way for women from diverse cultural backgrounds to identify common concerns and address their impact.
The host club generally offers an optional post-conference trip for attendees and their partners and guests.
