Cross-functional collaboration is a fundamental, indispensable feature of our Modern United Way business model. To deliver on the critical success factors of our network-wide strategic blueprint, we must cultivate people leaders who see the value of cross-functional work and enable integrated approaches to product, content and service solutions. Join us to hear how United Way of Broward County, whose leadership recognizes the benefits of partnership across resource development, impact and marketing teams, has broken down departmental silos to execute the Modern United Way.

We use data to make small and large decisions every day, from what to have for lunch to what car to buy. Unfortuantely, we often don't use enough data when deciding how to give our time or philanthropic dollars. 211, a vital service leveraged by millions of Americans every year, is a rich source of data for United Ways across the U.S. This session will focus on how to access, understand and make the most use of data from 211 to decide how we give our time, allocate donor dollars, drive impact and tell our story to the community, and what that information can do for your Women United.

As communities of color grow in wealth and influence, and as women from all racial backgrounds lead through philanthropy, common perceptions about who is seen as a “philanthropist” are being challenged like never before. Jeannie Sager, Director of the Women’s Philanthropy Institute at the Indiana University Lilly Family School of Philanthropy, will share an overview of new research that explores intersections of race, gender and giving to dispel myths about who philanthropists are/who are philathropists

From helping people register to vote, to leading get-out-the-count campaigns in hard-to-count communities, United Ways across the country are driving efforts to increase voter and census participation. As catalysts of community activism and philanthropy, our Women United leaders are on the frontlines of the fight for inclusive democracy. With the 2020 Census, presidential election and 100th anniversary of the women’s suffrage movement happening this year, Women United chapters can play a critical role helping community voices be heard in 2020. Join us to discover how Women United leaders can spearhead get-out-the-count and get-out-the-vote initiatives.
1:30 pm - 2:45 pm
Women United is making lasting change across the world. But how do we engage even more women to make an even bigger difference? We have to tell our story in a way that resonates, and communicate effectively year-round. This session will give you perspective, tools and practice to do exactly that.

It has never been a more exciting time to be a woman in leadership--or a more demanding one. Join Randi Braun, the Founder of Something Major, for a workshop on Effective Self Care for Today's Women Leaders. An executive coach who has advised diverse women leaders ranging from nonprofits to Fortune 500 companies, Randi will share tactical tips for: • Cultivating a meaningful and authentic self care routine • Decreasing stress and increasing fulfillment

Local United Ways rely heavily on volunteer leadership to help develop and drive fundraising strategies. Often, however, we find that volunteers, and even staff members, find it difficult to make connections in their communities to create United Way stakeholders for life. For many passionate United Way advocates, making the ask is deeply uncomfortable. This session will address how to equip volunteers and staff with the tools to build relationships—a fundamental fundraising skill—that ensure United Way’s long-term sustainability.

It’s no surprise that women have valuable insights and are capable of driving change. Pauline, Innovation Specialist, discusses the United We Innovate Campaign, where she celebrates hidden key female voices in innovation. With increasing change in technology and disruption, we need to unleash women’s innovative potential to create a more equitable future. The session discusses the structural and cultural barriers women face in innovation and how we can develop an innovation ecosystem in which women can thrive.
3:00 pm - 4:15 pm
Influencer marketing scales up the potential of peer recommendations by borrowing the "influence capital" of widely followed content creators. These individuals can reach thousands—if not millions—of people around the world with a single piece of content. Want to see new faces at your Women United event? Are you interested in reaching people outside the traditional workplace campaign? Influencers can help! Hear from the United Way Brand Ambassadors, a global group of Instagram influencers, about how they engage their young and diverse audiences to support United Way.

The success of any Women United affinity group depends on a strong governance structure.

In this session, we will discuss different types of government structures and key considerations for optimization.

Because donors, volunteers and dollars are finite resources, we naturally perceive other philanthropic organizations who are attempting to secure the same resources as competitors. While this mindset tends to be automatic, what would happen if we could flip that thinking on its head and open ourselves to the idea of partnership, and the advantages it could provide. In this session, we will discuss how Women United groups have collaborated with other local women’s groups to create more value and impact in their communities.
9:15 am - 10:30 am
9:15 am - 10:30 am

The current economy is defined by change: employees do not stay in one professional role for life, and business models are continually evolving. How do you adapt to constant change? How do you rise above the challenges of transformation so that you do not merely withstand change, but embrace change as a tool for personal growth? Join this session if you are interested in learning how to strengthen your adaptability, not only in your role at United Way or in your Women United chapter, but in all domains of your professional life.
10:45 am - 12:00 pm
Inspired and motivated Women United chapters can be indispensable assets for local United Ways and the communities they serve. A powerful affinity group can enhance and amplify a United Way’s work and brand while creating a richer, more profound philanthropy experience for its members. A thriving Women United group can also attract and engage diverse groups of talented women leaders who bring experience and expertise to the complex issues that United Way addresses. Join us to discover how your local United Way can establish and sustain a strong Women United with powerful, credible advocates who are wholly aligned with our mission and work.
