How the Meetings Work – 100+ Women Who Care

Meeting Locations

Meetings are held quarterly in-person in locations throughout the Madison area. We also strive to offer virtual participation options.

Registration

When you arrive, check-in at the registration desk and retrieve your paper ballot and a name badge.

Networking Reception

Light hors d’oeuvres and refreshments are often offered at the meeting thanks to sponsorships by local supporting companies.

Presentation

The presentation is kept to exactly one hour and generally takes place in a separate room from the reception with chairs available for members and guests. There is a brief welcome followed by any announcements made by representatives of 100+ Women Who Care – Madison. Each member nominator has thirty seconds to introduce the charity they nominated, then each charity speaks for five minutes, followed by five minutes allowed for members to ask questions.

After all three charities have presented, members are asked to mark their chosen charity on the paper ballot, which are then collected. While the votes are being tallied, the winning charity from the last quarter presents an update to the membership on the status of their Impact Award. Board members tally the votes and the winner is announced to the membership. Members are asked to make their donation online each quarter and are encouraged to bring their checkbooks in order to donate to the other charities as they wish. The meeting is adjourned and an email announcing the winner is sent to all members.

Guests

Guests are welcome at all quarterly meetings. While guests are not able to vote for a charity, they may donate to all three of the presenting charities if they wish to do so. If a guest completes the paperwork to join 100+ Women Who Care – Madison for a year, they may vote that night.
