Women’s Outreach — family-centered events and listening sessions
Cross-lane execution guide for Women’s Outreach leads working with Events and Social. Aligns with county and community-region dashboards.
Principles
- Design for caregiver logistics — timing, parking, clarity on kids welcome, feeding expectations.
- Listening is a standalone win; not every room needs a speech.
- Escalate safety or harassment issues immediately — don’t handle alone.
Family-centered outreach checklist
- Venue — bathrooms, changing space, stroller access noted on invite.
- Program — optional kids’ corner only with vetted volunteers and signed-up parents.
- Length — default shorter than all-adult events unless hosts insist.
Listening session (90 minutes)
- Opening — purpose, ground rules, consent on note-taking.
- Rounds — timed; pass mic or use notecards for shy voices.
- Close — what we heard + one honest next step (event, resource, follow-up owner).
- Within one week — thank-you; deliver any promised resources.
Coordination handoffs
- Events owns run-of-show and permits.
- Social owns dignified recap — prioritize participant dignity over “content mining.”
- P5 / VR owns registration offer at exit if culturally appropriate.
