Due to the success of our first ever AMPOWER Women's Retreat, my organization has approved funding to repeat the program in 2016. 

 

Next year I plan to:

 

• Include more stakeholders in the planning and programming

• Invite our non-profit partners to attend and provide workshops

• Honor some of the requests made by the attendees evaluations this year which include lengthening the retreat to a full weekend, include wellness topics, bring in more opportunities to share prosthetic tips and tricks

• Apply for Foundation funds to help fund more women attend

• Create a scholarship program to be applied nationwide

• Include "stuck exercises" (from ORGL 537)

 

Overall, I want to grow this program to help more women have experiences like we had.  Hillary (Facebook post) was completely transformed by the weekend.
