PRESENTATION/SPEAKER REQUEST

Empowered Women’s Network is a non-profit organization that hosts monthly lunches September-May for women to connect with each other. Our mission is to connect & empower women in life & business through a positive, informal, and encouraging networking group.

We strive to offer a variety of speakers and topics during the EWN season. Categories of topics include Business, Health/Wellness, Community/Educational, and Motivational/Empowerment. We will not select speakers that have already presented to our group in the past two seasons.

If you are interested in sharing a meaningful message that will educate, inspire and/or motivate the group, we invite you to complete the following presentation/speaker application. Additionally, if you have a suggestion on a speaker for EWN, please complete the following form with the person's contact information and the committee will reach out to them as they deem appropriate.

During the month of June each year, the EWN Board gathers to prepare and select speakers for the upcoming program year. Interested parties should apply no later than June 1st of each year. Those who are selected to present will be notified by July 31st.

Although there is not a financial reimbursement for presenting, presenter benefits include marketing of you/your business via our website, Facebook, word of mouth, and exposure to a diverse group of exceptional women.

PRESENTATION CRITERIA:

Presentation length no more than 20 minutes
Message must align with our mission to empower, support, and connect women in life and/or business.
Comfortable presenting before a group of 30+ participants, whether in person or via Zoom.
Focus of presentation should be on the story, experience, lessons that will educate and/or empower others, and not necessarily on a “product or service” or a specific business.

Want to be on the EWN Board of Directors?

Our board does the behind-the-scenes work that makes the Empowered Women's Network a fun, empowering, and wonderful community for local women. Our Board Members are amazing women, and we are grateful for your interest in joining us to make the magic happen! Here is some more information on us, and what we are looking for...

THE EWN season runs from September - May, but our board works year-round. If you are selected, we ask that you agree to serve 1-3 years. After your term ends, you can reapply after a one-year break - and we encourage it!

What are the requirements to serve on the board?

Be passionate about connecting and empowering women!
Hold an active EWN Membership ($50/year) during your Board term.
Actively attend EWN events and meetings (we ask for at least 75% attendance), usually held on the 2nd Friday of the month, September through May.
Attend monthly board meetings (we meet about 10 days before each meeting - we alternate between in-person and virtual meetings).
Attend a 3-4 hour planning session in June of each year.

Expectations if selected as an EWN Board Member:

In addition to the requirements above, we are a working board - meaning that all board members are expected to volunteer their time and skills to make this organization function and flourish. We divide duties based on interest, ability, and time - do you have a unique skill or talent you can bring to the team? Make sure to list it in your application! During our in-person meetings and events, we ask our board members to help set up, take down, help with registration, etc., and prioritize making all of our members and guests feel welcome. We love a team player!

If you have any questions as you review the application, please contact us at ewnnorthland@gmail.com. Thank you for your interest in joining our Board!
