Members Showcase Opportunities at Annual Executive Meeting
Net•work(n)  \'net-,werk\: a usually informally interconnected group or association of persons (as friends or professional colleagues).  So, let’s make this more formal!  We are looking for members who are willing to be showcased at Annual Executive Meeting.

Networking in Spirit Style
Annual Executive Meeting is a time to renew acquaintances and forge new relationships.  It is the one time each year that all members gather to celebrate and share the successes of Spirit of Women as a body.  We challenge and encourage you to look within the network for solutions, best practices, ideas and support as you set about the work of your hospital.  To assist in your connection to other Spirit members, we will again produce the much acclaimed, much used and much anticipated Spirit Membership Directory!

Spirit After Dark
We carry our Spirit networking into the evening with special events for our members.  This year we welcome members in true South Florida fashion with the Havana Tropicana Opening Reception.  Sunshine state glamour is in full effect at the Red Shoe Ball and National Network Awards.  And, don’t miss the fun, informal Spirit Experience: Easy Spanish Lessons and Karaoke Night.

Red Shoe Ball and National Network Awards
The Red Shoe Initiative has quickly become a mainstay in the fabric of Spirit of Women.  A more longstanding initiative – the Spirit Awards – is continuing to impact women across the country.  The two join together in our 1st Annual Red Shoe Ball and National Network Awards, an event to celebrate Spirit of Women success in moving American women into a healthier future.  One hospital, one doctor, one lifestyle step at a time.
