News from RWN

As the RWN Membership Committee continues to update practices based on member feedback, we're announcing the end of the RWN Loyalty Card program in favor of new programs that will better serve our members.


Our Explore RWN event is now called Explore & More – we have shortened the formal presentation and added a networking component where we SHOW, not just TELL, prospective members what RWN has to offer. After a brief overview of the organization, Explore & More attendees will join our Monthly Free to Members Networking, which is now called Meet & Mingle! Along with the usual networking with members, welcoming prospective members helps all of us widen our networks, share RWN experiences, and learn more about SIGs that may be of interest.


Rochester Women's Network has a Facebook Group just for members! If you aren't a member yet, go here to join. 


We have added new email addresses to help members and others reach us more directly, including finance@rwn.org, fundraising@rwn.org, membership@rwn.org, and programs@rwn.org. These emails, in addition to our general rwn@rwn.org, are checked frequently by committee members, so feel free to reach out should you need anything.

General Information:

Get a head start and be the first to apply for TEDWomen Presents

We’re so excited to announce that applications for TEDWomen Presents are now open! This year, you’ll be able to join us from your home, your office, or just about anywhere. TEDWomen Presents will take place virtually on October 24–28. We have a special price for early supporters, available if you apply by Tuesday, September 20 (or until sold out).

Each day of the week will be centered on a unique theme. Ranging from overcoming barriers and accomplishing goals, deep diving into capitalizing on the new ways we work, ideas driving the quest for equality around the world, cultivating joy in business and in life, and an in-depth look at how to step up and shape the future. Here are a few things you can expect on a Connector pass…

Live daily content: Ask questions in a live interactive Q&A session with iconic speakers happening throughout the week.

Discovery Sessions: Take advantage of the deep-dive workshops to explore new interests and connect with your fellow TEDsters.

Creative connections: Find opportunities to connect and build relationships from the community chat to rapid-fire 1:1 conversations. And gain access to our award-winning app, TEDConnect.

If you would rather watch the live and recorded talks, and gain access to the on-demand content and video archive without the interactive component, you can join us on a Gallery pass (no application required).

If you have any questions, email conferences@ted.com.

We hope you'll join us.

Open Access 
Alcoholism and other substance-use disorders continue to hurt individuals and families in our community every day. When you or a loved one is ready to seek treatment, call or go to Open Access at 1350 University Avenue, Rochester (585-627-1777). Open Access is staffed 24/7 and welcomes all ages. There will be an evaluation and a connection to an appropriate level of care. Families seeking guidance can call a Recovery Support Navigator at 855-778-1200. RWN member Erin Egloff, the Finger Lakes Addiction Resource Center Coordinator at the National Council on Alcoholism & Drug Dependence, can also guide you to the right resources. Call her at 585-719-3485 or email eegloff@depaul.org. Recovery IS possible.

Thank you, members!
