	What is the DSWA Code of Honor?
	To ensure that the Direct Selling Women's Alliance remains a safe and supportive place for all direct sellers, we strongly prohibit cross-recruiting at all DSWA events. All attendees will be asked to agree to the following: 1. Never approach, solicit or invite another member or guest to consider or enroll with my direct selling company either at or following the event. 2. To network in a spirit of mutual support and respect for each individual's choice. 3. Conduct myself in a sincere and professional manner at all times. Members or guests who violate this code will be asked to leave and barred from membership or participation in future DSWA events.

	How do you determine the 200 team member minimum?
	Your team may include any promoted leaders and their team members. The minimum of 200 is a grand total of your entire team.

	What about transportation?
	While the Safety Harbor Resort & Spa does not have a private shuttle, from Tampa (TPA and Clearwater (PIE) airports, both Taxi and Super Shuttle service are available. Make your shuttle service reservations at http://www.supershuttle.com/htm/cities/tpa.htm - rate is approx. $21 each way. The two value airlines that fly into the area are Southwest and Jet Blue.

	What should I bring to the Retreat?
	We recommend you bring writing materials, business cards, product material (no recruiting material, please) and any handouts or support material you may want to share during the leader's Show & Tell. Don't forget to bring your swimming suit and play clothes.

	Are meals included?
	DSWA has arranged for continental breakfast Saturday and Sunday morning, lunch on Saturday and Sunday and a delicious dinner on Saturday evening. You may enjoy a no-host dinner with your new friends on Friday night prior to the hosted dessert reception.

	What's happening Friday night?
	DSWA will be kicking off the weekend in style with a networking reception where we all can get to know one another, greet friends you met last year, or at the Education Celebration, or meet new friends, and get ready for a great weekend. Please arrive in time to connect with other top leaders to set the tone for a phenomenal experience.

	What should I wear?
	Business casual attire is appropriate for the general session events as well as both Friday and Saturday evening. We also suggest bringing a jacket or sweater as meeting room temperatures can fluctuate. Our vision is a fun, relaxed and comfortable environment where we can all be ourselves and ENJOY!

	Will I have any free time?
	Yes - we have deliberately left free time during the agenda to allow you to network with other successful direct sellers, to enjoy the beach, or to take advantage of the spa services. You may also want to consider adding a day before or after the event to relax with a massage, facial, or some other quiet time to enjoy the surroundings.

	When should I plan to depart?
	We highly recommend that you plan to stay over on Sunday night if it is at all possible. This will give you time to debrief, journal, design an action plan and to enjoy one final evening of free time with your new friends. If you must depart on Sunday, please do not schedule your flight before 7:00 pm so you can enjoy the final minutes of the event (which conclude at 4:00 pm) and have plenty of time to get to either airport.
