This newsletter is intended for the leaders of Women's Council. This important information should be read thoroughly and shared with your local members as needed.
Edition 3-2024 | March 5, 2024
March is Women's History Month! How will you celebrate with your members? We have a few ideas: Pay tribute to your past network leaders at a luncheon, host a book club this month showcasing a female author, post historical social media content as it relates to your network being chartered, volunteer as a network - the ideas are truly endless. The most important thing is that we, as a Women's organization, celebrate this month and honor all the female leaders who paved the way before us!
Renewal Reminders for Past Due Members
Remind your members to renew their membership dues for 2024. Log into wcr.org and click My Account, then click Invoices to begin the renewal process. All members who do not renew by March 31 will be dropped from rosters and will have a $35 reinstatement fee.
Note for leaders, your network builder will look different on April 1 after the drop takes place.
