WCGN Leadership Forum 2014 -

The WCGN Formula for Change 

When women know what their communities need, they will ACT. When women combine resources, their power to change is UNLIMITED. We are excited about the Women's Collective Giving Grantmakers Network (WCGN) conference agenda and the plans we have for learning and networking!  For more information on the WCGN, click here.

Conference highlights include dinner Tuesday night with Spirit of St. Louis Women's Fund member Maxine Clark, founder of Build-A-Bear Workshop and a prominent leader in business and philanthropy. 

Wednesday features a full day of programs and round table discussions on best practices, new program ideas, membership recruitment and retention programs, impact measurement, and expert advice on strengthening your Organization. Have lunch with speaker Sonja Nichols, membership builder extraordinaire from Charlotte, NC. 

Wednesday evening you will be entertained by several SOS members in their homes near the Chase Park Plaza Hotel. Networking among the attendees is always the very best part of a WCGN conference!

At breakfast on Thursday, the WCGN will have its First Annual Meeting. Conference attendees will be offered additional programs with roundtables and opportunities for facilitated discussion in small groups focused around specific topics of interest. A box lunch will be available with additional optional mentoring opportunities on a scheduled basis available in the afternoon.

If you arrive early on Tuesday, take advantage of a special tour of St. Louis sights in nearby Forest Park.
