Making Your Way to Forum

Hoping to be a part of Forum 2022?  Let’s figure out how to get you there!

Asking for Chapel Support

• It’s Never Too Late: If you are hoping for financial support from your chapel, don’t be afraid to approach your chaplain, chapel funds manager, or other chapel staff to share your request and how they can support you and other women from your chapel. And don’t be afraid to ask more than once if you haven’t received an answer. 
• Offer to bring back and share the resources you receive: Each attendee at Forum will receive a swag bag full of great resources you can share with your chapel and the various ministries in your chapel community. Past chapel-funded Forum attendees have even agreed to write mini-reports for their chapel sharing what they learned and did during the event to facilitate sharing their newfound knowledge. 

Paying Your Own Way

• Plan a Road Trip: Close enough for a road trip? Even if it is a long drive, consider making an adventure of it. Gather your girlfriends, car snacks, and your best road trip playlist, and hit the road!
  
• Bunk Up: Most of the rooms in the room block have two double beds, but the hotel allows up to four occupants in a room. Make it like summer camp and share your room to stretch your budget dollars. 

Helping Other Gets to Forum

• Adventures in Babysitting: Not your year to go to Forum? Offer to help a friend with her kids so she can attend — it doesn’t have to be the whole time, but maybe you can lighten the load for dad by taking the kids to school or carpooling to activities.
  
• Create a Scholarship: Maybe your CWOC doesn’t have enough to send everyone to Forum, but consider pooling dollars to help current or future leaders attend this event to help them grow!
  
• Be a Cheerleader: It can be a big leap to spend a weekend away from your family, especially for young moms. Encourage the younger women in your chapel to take that leap and to attend Forum. Your prayers and encouragement may be just what they need.
