SPONSORSHIP PACKAGE - NAVIGATE THE NOW - may 12 - Spark Women's Leadership ...
2020 has been quite a ride! One that none of us were really ready for or wanted to participate in. It
has been an especially challenging year for literally everyone on the planet. Living in a constant state
of flux has taken, and continues to take, a toll on our mental health, physical well-being, and
emotional state. Now, more than ever, we know that the connectiveness that Spark brings to the
women of the Peace Country is needed. This global pandemic has demonstrated the amazing
communities we live in on countless occasions.

It was heartbreaking for the Spark Steering Committee to make the
decision to cancel the 2020 conference. That said, we are committed to                    Spark

previous years. We don’t fully know what it will look like just yet as we            learning and creates

connection. We do know that Spark 2021 will look very different from
previous years and we are committed to maintaining the Spark
standard in content and experience while keeping safety as our top
priority. This change in format will expand the opportunities for participation and increase the ability
for women to attend.

We are all “zoomed” out and nobody wants to spend any more time in front of their computer. Our
lives seem to have many more distractions these days. For this reason, we have elected to go with a
1-day event. We are planning for a hybrid event, which will allow for a limited number of attendees
in the room (following Dr. Henry’s guidelines) and providing the content via live stream. This will
actually widen the audience that Spark can reach, both from an affordability perspective and a
geographic perspective. Should new guidelines be in place in May 2021 and we are not able to have
any attendees in the room, the conference will still be able to proceed through the virtual platform –
bringing the much-needed content to attendees.

Spark Women’s Leadership Conference is the brainchild of a local group of business owners,
executives, community leaders, entrepreneurs, and “futurepreneurs” who were frustrated at having
to travel out of the region for professional development, spending precious time away from home
and the demands of a busy career. The decision to host a Leadership Conference in Fort St John was
simple: minimal travel, affordable expenses, and less time away from the workplace and home
commitments. The program is designed by the women of the Peace Country for the women of the
Peace Country.

Our 2021 conference theme is ‘reVision – Navigate the Now’. In today’s environment, we are having
to rethinking almost every aspect of our lives. Change is the most difficult thing we tackle as humans
and we have been thrust into a massive period of constant change. Learning how to navigate this
level of change has pushed many people to their limits. reVisioning our perspectives, our strategies,
and our expectations to survive and thrive in this new environment is vital. Spark 2021 will provide
the insights and tools to Navigate the Now we are working through today.
