WCGBR: Women's Week Activities

The tenth annual WOMEN! A WEEK-LONG CELEBRATION presented by the Women's Council of Greater Baton Rouge (WCGBR) is taking place September 16-25, 2011, throughout the Greater Baton Rouge area. The theme for this year's event is "10 Years of Creating, Connecting & Celebrating."

The purpose of the Celebration is:
  • To provide a forum for discussing issues that are important to women including healthcare, education, family, community, economics, business, sports, arts and humanities;
  • To strengthen the bond among women in the Greater Baton Rouge area;
  • To showcase and share the strengths of women and women's groups;
  • To explore the role of women in shaping our community;
  • To offer fun and interesting activities for women.
This Celebration will commence with a citywide luncheon on September 16th and will continue with many diverse and exciting events through September 25th.

WOMEN! A WEEK-LONG CELEBRATION is a great way to showcase your organization or business in the community. This event is a wonderful opportunity for publicity, promotion and synergy. WCGBR and the Greater Baton Rouge community wait expectantly each year for this stellar event and we want you to be included. Last year, there were over 200 diverse activities provided by 45 different activity sponsors.

If you have an event that you would like included in this year’s Women's Week Celebration, please first review the Activity Sponsor Packet by clicking on the Activity Sponsor Packet link here or on the upper left sidebar of this webpage. It contains the information you need to register and plan a successful event, including an Activity Sponsorship Contract, Guidelines & Instructions and Activity Registration Form. Once you’ve completed an Activity Registration Form for each activity, you’ll then be ready to fill out the Online Activity Registration Form and submit it for consideration.

The registration fee, $200.00 ($150.00 for current Women's Council Members), will include your share of advertising expenses for the week. This fee entitles you to sponsor up to 5 activities which will be listed on the website and in the 20,000 Activity Booklets that will be distributed city-wide.

Requirements and deadlines:
  • An "Activity Registration Form" must be completed for each activity and submitted online (as directed on the Activity Form) by June 6, 2011. The form may be printed, completed and faxed (with permission only).
  • The "Activity Sponsorship Contract" must be printed, signed and mailed with your check to the address on the contract by June 6, 2011.
Join us! Together we can impact the Greater Baton Rouge community with this very special event by women, for women. Please feel free to call 225-302-8018 (ext. 3) if you have any questions or need additional information about WOMEN! A WEEK- LONG CELEBRATION.
