	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 100 team member minimum?
	Your team may include any promoted leaders and their team members. The minimum of 100 is a grand total of your entire organization.

	What about transportation?
	While the Crowne Plaza San Antonio Riverwalk does not have a private shuttle from San Antonio (SAT) airport both Taxi and SATRANS Shuttle service are available. Make your shuttle service reservations by calling 210-281-9900, you can also print a $2 off coupon at http://www.saairportshuttle.com/Coupon%20Page/couponpage.htm - rate is $18 one way and $32 roundtrip. Taxicabs rates are approximately $25; four passengers ride for the price of one. The airport is approximately10 minutes from downtown.

	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, as well as lunch on Saturday and Sunday. 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, and make new friends while preparing 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 allowed free time within the agenda to allow you to network with other successful direct sellers, to enjoy some quiet time to reflect, or to take advantage of the spa services available on property. You may also want to consider adding a day before or after the event to relax with a massage, facial, or pre-arrange business meetings with team members in the area.

	When should I plan to depart?
	We highly recommend that you plan to stay over on Sunday night if 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 concludes before 4:00 pm) and have plenty of time to get to the airport.
