About the Planning Organization?
A portion of our revenue is donated to Girls Inc. If you cannot join or attend please consider donating directly at: www.GirlsInc.org
The Women Leaders Association (www.WomenLeadersAssociation.org) is the world's largest women executives association with over 30,000 women in executive and leadership positions
who are committed to the development and advancement of women in the corporate arena. Each of our 70 metro-based chapters and 30 state-based chapters features successful
top local women executives who volunteer to share their ideas, strategies, and what worked for them with other rising and aspiring women at our monthly meetings or annual conferences.
The overall planning of the Women Leaders Association's yearly events and chapter meetings is managed by the Executive Summits which is dedicated to supporting a number of associations globally.
The co-planners of the conference series are:
May I Cancel?
Yes, you may cancel for a full refund for 30 days for any reason (risk-free to join). See the self-serve option in the top right to automatically cancel, or if any issues cancelling please start a chat during business hours and we are glad to assist.
How Soon Can I Login to the Online Resources?
You may login to view the Women Leaders Community online resources (included in your registration) immediately after registering (note: use your email as the password the first time and you will then be prompted to create a unique password). The only exception to the immediate access is group tables as we enter those people into the registration system manually (allow 2-3 days from when you submit your group table reservation names/emails).
May We Donate to Your Organization?
Our board would prefer that any donations instead be made directly to Girls Inc which is a wonderful organization we champion and support. Their web site is at: www.GirlsInc.org
Will Special Diet Meals be Available?
Yes, vegetarian/vegan meals will be available upon request (identify yourself to the hotel staff once seated).
Are the Facilities ADA Compliant?
Yes, there is handicapped access to all main entrances and conference areas. We can also make special accommodations if needed (please contact the hotel to coordinate).
Are Meals Included?
For any in-persons you decide to attend we will let you know in advance the meal cost of each at our cost (for breakfasts usually under $30, a little more for lunch or dinner depending on what we can negotiate with the hotel or venue at our cost).
Is Parking Included?
Usually not, the hotels set their own rates and often there is adjacent parking at lower rates available nearby. We encourage registrants to go Green where possible (mass transport options, ride sharing with their colleagues, or ride share apps from their office parking where possible).
May I Be a Sponsor or Speak?
Potentially yes, if your product or service adds value to the participants. Please see the Sponsorship page for more info. If you have a special story or topic that would inspire the audience please send it to Shelly@WomenLeadersAssociation.org for consideration
Do you Have a Negotiated Overnight Room Rate if Needed?
We don't reserve a room block for overnight rooms as most attendees are within commute distance of the hotel so the rooms usually go unused and then we are charged for them. If you need a sleeping room we recommend hotels.com which often has discounts for the event's hotel or one nearby.
What is the Dress Code?
For years we have said Casual yet everyone still shows up in Professional clothing so we have given up and now say "Professional" :)
How Did You Find Me?
It is always from one of two sources. Either a past registrant suggested your name to be invited to this year's conference, or we researched your name, title and what you do on LinkedIn and thought you would be a good fit with the other attendees.
Are there Continuing Education Credit Hours (i.e. CEUs, CPEs, etc)?
Not automatically as credit approvals are state-by-state but you can manually submit the agenda in most states for credit. Also if you login you can print a completion certificate if needed for each speaker's presentation.
How Much is the Registration Fee to Attend?
Go the the Event page to view the registration fee.
Does the Location Ever Change after Registration?
Yes, on rare occasion the registration outgrows the hotel's available event room capacity where it makes sense to change to a hotel with a larger ballroom on that day. We encourage all registrants to check back on the site within 1-2 weeks of the event to verify the location for safety (you don't want to miss half the first speaker's message by the time you get to the right place).
When is the Next Summit After This One?
In most cities it is yearly although in a few cities like New York, LA, Boston, etc the Summits get too big and so for better networking/culture we do them twice yearly to get the crowd down to a more optimal size. Also keep in mind that when you register you will also receive monthly benefits for a full year (live webinar each month with a top woman leader discussing what worked, videos of other women leaders posted each month, articles monthly, book summary monthly, and access to the city's mentoring list, and much more all included). Many women register even if they have a date conflict to be able to access these extended benefits throughout the year.
