Women Outdoors needs you!  We have hundreds of  members nationally.  Many of which are not currently in an active chapter.  What’s involved in becoming a Regional Contact for our organization?

 It does not take much effort to start a Women Outdoors chapter in your area.  It just requires a strong desire to create a network of women who enjoy activities in the outdoors.  Women Outdoors National Headquarters will provide promotional brochures for you to distribute and/or post where appropriate.  When several potential members are interested, it then requires planning and coordinating a list of activities led by volunteers in this network.  The list of activities is mailed to the members in your region two weeks before the first event on the list.  Describe each activity in full, giving date, time, location, and phone number of the volunteer leader to contact.

 Women Outdoors National Headquarters maintains the membership list and will provide you with address labels for these mailings.  Our Treasurer refunds a percentage of each member's membership fee to your region to cover the mailing costs and promotional expenses of that region.  There is also “start-up” money available.

 To summarize this process:

·         Find women in your area that will commit to the philosophy of Women Outdoors.

·         Have them join as per instructions in the brochure.

·         Plan a calendar of events for the upcoming 2 to 3 month period.

·         Mail the calendar to these recently acquired new members and post at bookstores or women centers in your area.

·         Hold the events.  Be sure to have a good time!  Encourage potential new members to participate and join.

·         Have the women sign an “Assumption of Risk” statement which we provide that eliminates liability for Women Outdoors.
