Online Program Application Form

MISSION STATEMENT:  Women Supporting Women.  We provide pathways to self-discovery, connection and transformation.

VISION STATEMENT:  Providing a wide variety of experiences with culturally diverse leadership, accessible to ALL women.

Woman Within Western USA has experienced many challenges since Covid-19 changed the way that our programs, workshops and trainings can be offered to our community of initiated women.  Given that face-to-face meetings have been unattainable and may remain out of reach for the foreseeable future, the Woman Within Western USA Board of Directors is seeking alternative methods of offering growth-centered events.

In pursuing the Board’s intent, we will be offering interesting and inspiring virtual online workshops.  This is where you may come in!  If you yourself, or someone within our community that you know of, have a workshop you would like to present to Woman Within Western USA, we invite you to complete this application form and allow us an opportunity to evaluate whether there is a match.  The “match” will consist of how the offering aligns with the values reflected in the Mission/Vision statements above.  Presenters must have completed their Woman Within weekend.

Please note that the presenter will be responsible for the management of registration(s) and fee collections (please see ** below if you are not able to manage these tasks).  In consideration of the advertising that will be provided by our Region for each event, the presenter will be charged a fee equal to the value of one participant each time the workshop is presented.  The fee must be paid prior to the event occurring.

If your offering has not been previously offered within the Woman Within community, the Program Committee may require a pilot of the offering where the Woman Within Western USA Program Director or designee may observe/attend the event prior to potential approval of your application, and a recommendation made to the Woman Within Western USA Board of Directors for final approval.

Please contact Marilyn Dugan, Program Director, at programdirector@womanwithinwesternusa.org with any questions.

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Please complete the application form in its entirety.  Please focus all of your responses with the question in mind of how your presentation supports the Mission/Vision statements reflected above.
2. Please submit the form along with an outline or agenda detailing timings and name of each session of the offering.
   Include any testimonials from previous presentations
   Include any personal or professional references pertinent to the presentation
   Include any other pertinent information you would like to be considered
3. The Program Committee will review your application and may solicit additional information.
4. If the Program Committee is unable to approve your application, the Program Director will contact you personally to discuss why the Program Committee was unable to approve your application.
5. If the Program Committee is able to approve your application, the Program Director will present the proposal at the next regularly scheduled monthly Board meeting for approval.  If the event is approved by the Board, the next step would be for you to identify the date(s) that you would like to have your offering placed on the calendar.  Please allow for sufficient time to advertise the event (a minimum of two months is requested).
6. After selection of mutually agreed upon date(s), submission of a copy/flier to the Program Director is necessary for advertising.
   The copy/flier must identify the nature of the offering, the cost per participant, the time(s) and date(s) and registration process.
7. An evaluation by each participant must take place at the conclusion of the workshop and copies of the evaluations are to be shared with the Program Director. Negative evaluations will be taken into consideration when considering whether the presentation meets the needs of our community.
8. Once approved, the event can be scheduled multiple times as long as there are interested participants and there are no negative evaluations received that require follow-up by the Program Committee.  If no significant changes are made to the presentation, further review and/or approval will not be required other than payment of the workshop fee and suggested dates for the next workshop.
