Though I'm still miffed about the new AGD logo (bring back the buff rose!), I really like the emphasis on "women with Purpose." Many years ago I was in a personal-exploration workshop that included an exercise on "writing your personal creed." I finished quickly because I used the Purpose.
I used to think that "to welcome the opportunity of contributing to the world's work in the community where I am placed because of the joy of service thereby bestowed and the talent of leadership multiplied" was the best phrase -- that's why I do what I do, professionally and civically. But a few years ago the lightbulb went on and I truly understood "to cultivate acquaintance with many whom I meet" which must be coupled with "to cherish friendships with but a chosen few and to study the perfecting of those friendships."
Though it won't work for your column, my favorite phrase in the P.E.O. Objects & Aims:
"to aim at self-control, equipoise, and symmetry of character" -- equipoise ranks right up there with vouchsafed!
