Question 2

How do REACH Groups work?

Accepted Answer

Small groups of 6-8 committed women at similar career stages are matched and meet regularly.  REACH Groups receive a facilitator, confidentiality, and communication training.  Groups have unique access to FORUM related programming which includes workshops, moderator training, and the annual FORUM Summit. Many groups stay together for years.

The cost of participating in a REACH Group is a one-time fee of $1,500, which covers facilitation of the launch, training, materials and access to on-going Forum related programming.  Most companies will pay for this one-time fee given the leadership and development value to participants.
