A lot of thoughtfulness went into choosing the location for our 2025 Conference. Here are a few reasons we chose Dallas, Texas.

1. Dallas earned one of the top-10 spots in WalletHub's annual ranking of the "Most Diverse Cities in the U.S. (2024),”. The report compared 501 U.S. cities across 13 metrics in five categories that encompass "diversity" across socioeconomic, cultural, economic, household, and religious factors

2. With two major airports, Dallas has over a THOUSAND flights coming into town EACH DAY. This helps makes flights more accessible to attendees.

3. We were able to choose a conference location that is central to restaurants and other hotels. This allows attendees more flexibility in dining and hotel accommodations.

4. Dallas, Texas is more centrally located within the United States which we hope helps more attendees feel comfortable with travel distance.

5. Dallas, Texas is within a more comfortable elevation for those with specific health concerns that may require this accommodation.

   We want everyone to feel comfortable attending our conference! All are welcome! If for some reason you can not attend in person, please feel free to utilize the virtual option.

If you have a complaint about a presenter, a staff member, provided facilities, or the company as a whole, please follow this procedure:

1. If the complaint is regarding a person, please be prepared to describe them or name them, so that we can be sure to keep your complaint anonymous and take action to correct their future behavior.

2. Where to submit your complaint:

• At an onsite event, you may give your complaint to any staff member you feel safe giving it to (either verbally or in writing.) We guarantee your identity will be kept anonymous, unless you explicitly ask otherwise. If you need follow up, please provide your contact information.

• If you wish to submit your complaint by email, please indicate in the subject line that you are submitting a complaint or grievance. Send it to felicia@nurturingmamasnetwork.com, where it will be received by an office staff member who will keep your identity anonymous, unless you explicitly ask otherwise. If your complaint is about the behavior of office staff, and you wish your identity be kept anonymous from them, please send it to felicia@nurturingmamasnetwork.com .

3. In your complaint, please specify what the source of the complaint was and if there is anything you need us to do to rectify or make up for the problem. While we can’t guarantee that we can always comply with specified requests, these kinds of measures are examples of ways we can fix or make up for the problem: changes to facilities that are within our control, supplying alternate materials that better accommodate specific disabilities, a refund on services, changes to the materials that are the source of the complaint, an apology, simply informing the offending party that they need to change their behavior. Please see our note below about refunds.

4. Please let us know if you need a response to your complaint. While it is difficult to put a time guarantee on our response to a wide variety of possible complaints, we will endeavor to resolve it as quickly as possible. If it is determined that a refund is appropriate, we will ensure that the refund is initiated within 2 business days of the determination.

5. Once your complaint is submitted, we will respond as quickly as possible. We guarantee a response, using the contact information you provide, within 2 business days.

Regardless of what we do to fix it or make it up to you, we will also use your complaint as part of our ongoing process of improving services and facilities.
