Women’s Golf Association February Events Designed for Volunteer Leaders
PALM BEACH GARDENS, FL, December 6, 2007 – The Executive Women’s Golf Association (EWGA) will hold two regional "Winter Leadership Gatherings" designed for volunteer chapter leaders. The first event is February 1-3, 2008 at the Dolce Hayes Mansion in San Jose, Calif.; and the second will be February 22-24 at the World Golf Village and Renaissance Hotel in St Augustine, Fla. Open to members and non-members of the EWGA, the events include a welcome dinner on Friday night, a Saturday morning interactive workshop by Sam Horn, presenting "Tongue Fu® Dealing with Difficult People" and afternoon sessions on a wide range of topics to help chapter leaders succeed. Optional golf is offered both on Friday and Sunday. Additional information and registration forms are available at: http://www.ewga.com/4-Events/Leadership/index.htm. Registration deadline for the first Leadership Gathering is December 30, 2007.
Sam Horn is the author of "POP! Stand Out in Any Crowd". She is a consultant and speaker who helps organizations develop one-of-a-kind ideas and identities that help their business or brand break out. Her Tongue Fu® workshop will offer dozens of tips on how to skillfully disarm disagreeable people and cover other areas relevant to volunteer leadership. Her presentation is sponsored by the EWGA Foundation.
"These gatherings will help the hundreds of volunteer leaders who are the driving force for the success of our EWGA chapters," says Pam Swensen, CEO of the EWGA. "Anyone who serves in a volunteer leadership capacity – for the EWGA or other member-based organizations – will find these sessions informative, interactive and fun."
Since the EWGA started in 1991, more than 85,000 women have benefited from membership in the organization which is dedicated to providing opportunities to learn, play, and enjoy the game of golf for business and for life. EWGA chapters provide a wide range of golf, social and networking activities for both new and experienced golfers. A welcoming environment, golf education and player development, and organized play programs are part of the many benefits of EWGA membership.
The EWGA Foundation is a 501 (c) (3) not-for-profit organization formed and supported by the Executive Women’s Golf Association. Its mission is to develop premier golf education and leadership development programs for women of all ages.
