Congratulations for taking the time and putting your business success at the top of
your priority list! You will experience the “power of our network” first hand.
This high energy conference will help you in your business and in chapter management
too. Don’t miss a beat! Here are a few highlights:
• Wednesday: We’ll kick off the conference with our Networking Mixer & Lounge
Acts. It promises to be fun and entertaining.
• Thursday: Start your morning with us at Connexity, our Networking Continental
Breakfast. This event will get you going for the day. The energy continues
with our education programs: Innovative Thinking, Authentic Influencer and
Influential Business Leaders Panel. You’ll also meet the candidates for 2016
line office & celebrate our PMN Designees during the General Assembly.
• Friday: This is an exciting morning with our annual business meeting and
elections. We’ll spend the afternoon in officer training workshops that will
provide you with dozens of resources to help you lead!
• Saturday: We’ve filled the day with high energy education programs with
nationally recognized speakers Beth Ziesenis and Leigh Brown. They’ll be
sharing tips on setting up the perfect smartphone and team building. Then
get ready to celebrate Saturday evening with our future leadership team at
the Inaugural Banquet (ticketed event) and Afterparty (open to all attendees).
• Sunday: We wrap up the conference with our Governing Board Meeting.
With this packed schedule, I want to share with you a few of my favorite tips
to maximize your networking opportunities. Go for it!
TIP 1: Remember to divide and conquer! Buddy up and split up for the sessions
and then share your notes. You’ll take back double the ideas to your members
at home. Sharing is what we do best.
TIP 2: Share business cards and make notes on the cards you collect to help
you remember the person later. Don’t forget to send a note when you get home
asking for their referrals.
TIP 3: Have fun with your old friends and try to make new friends too.
Speaking of fun, don’t forget about our #WCRRocks contest! I want to see the
Women’s Council logo and you all over social media! WCR Rocks!
So proud to be here with you. Let’s make it a great week. See you in the halls!
U Rock!,
Sindy Ready, ABR, CRS, GRI, PMN, SRES

Authentication — The Process of

2:00 p.m. – 2:45 p.m.
Room: San Diego Ballroom
Featuring Lola Audu, PMN
Most of us have had the experience of being
touched by someone who had a substantial
influence on our lives. The process of becoming
an Authentic Influencer requires core knowledge
of who we are, a vision for the future, the
confidence to share and carry out a mission with
humility and the ability to inspire trust. Learning
how to work, live and encourage others in an
authentic way are key character traits necessary
for confident leadership. Explore your personal
journey and prepare to inspire, challenge and
influence others in way that makes a world of
difference professionally and personally.
