“This event is incredible. If you’re in recreation, tourism or hospitality and have female leaders, or women who want to lead, and you’re not engaging with WORTH Association, you’re missing out. WORTH is making tangible progress to uplift and prepare women for leadership and c-suite roles. It’s worth your time, energy and support.”

“Women not only need to take a seat at the table but showcase their talents and be recognized for them and that’s what WORTH focuses on. Developing connected and confident women who advance their leadership ambitions in the face of diversity.”
Bella Dingman

“WORTH has given me the opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals, in an industry that I love so much. It has given me hope for the future, that women will continue to make waves, break down walls, and defy stereotypes”

“May every woman find that WORTH can be their safe space, the start of their career growth, connection to the community and assurance that many women are willing to lift them, support them and achieve big dreams! Thank you to everyone who made this happen!”
Meeru Dhalwala

“WORTH instinctively feels and ushers in the fact that we women are different from men in how we work, run things at home, interact with peers and staff, prioritize, spend revenues, speak, laugh . . . and yet we celebrate and work towards inclusivity. We aren’t asking anyone to move over. We are asking everyone to shake hands of equity through example.”
