Aims of the Committee

The Committee's work includes the following:

•  Defining a policy which takes into account the need to make Bridge more accessible to Women.

•  Increasing the number of the Women bridge players by organizing more competitions specifically for them (teams, pairs and individual).

•  Concentrating their efforts to increase the number of teams participating in the European and World Championships, possibly by increasing the budget allocated to the development of this aspect of the sport, maybe transferring some of the funds assigned to the participation of men in the Open Pairs and Teams Championships, to the Women's Pairs and Teams.

•  Establishing new events for Women where these are not already available - in this regard we are looking at ways of organising a championship just for girls (school and college age groups).

•  Giving the Women the satisfaction of a very good teacher who can run special training sessions to improve the quality of their Bridge.

•  Giving the Women the opportunity of following courses as Tournament Directors and as Bridge Teachers.

•  Giving the Women who are well known amongst their peer group for their organisational and management skills , their talents, their attitude, the right role in the administration and management of their Federation. These Women can be the right people to develop Women's Bridge in their own country.

•  Appointing (and this is very important) a WOMAN to be responsible only for Women's Bridge in their Country, preferably a woman who is a Member of the Federation Board.
