WHAT WE DO

Throughout the year, WLN invests in female leaders by offering networking, mentoring and professional development classes and workshops to expand the skill sets and confidence of DRG women.
Quarterly Women’s Circle webinars feature conversations with industry leaders that provide additional opportunity and growth for WLN members. 

ANNUAL WLN WORKSHOP

The highest-attended and most anticipated WLN event is our annual workshop, which caps off the year at DRG headquarters in Las Vegas, NV. Guests include women leaders from all departments and select high-performing General Managers. Over two days, attendees participate in table discussions, community initiatives and create strategic growth playbooks for the year ahead.

STRENGTH THROUGH CONNECTION

We seek to integrate community impact into everything we do. At our 2025 workshop, we invited female team members from the Boys & Girls Club of Southern Nevada to join us. Their presence brought fresh perspective and purpose. Together, we created meaningful opportunities for children to feel supported, seen and inspired.
