* Your “SJC” or “Empowerment” registration does include attendance at the Women’s Empowerment Awards dinner event on Sunday night, but does not include any additional dinner tickets, tributes, or sponsorships. Please stay tuned for more information about supporting WRJ’s Empowerment awardees for their accomplishments.   

Please note that your registration fee includes a $3 “accessibility” fee. In accordance with WRJ’s accessibility policy, the fee from each registrant will be added to the WRJ Accessibility Fund, to be used for expenses incurred at WRJ-sponsored events and meetings in order to make reasonable accommodations for attendees who have special needs and to make best efforts to allow for universal access and participation to the fullest extent possible. 

Payment must be made in your online registration using a credit card. If you need instructions on mailing a check payment, please contact wrjregistrar@wrj.org.

Canadian and other non-U.S. registrants pay the same registration fee (local currency equivalent of the USD fee at the time registration is completed), by credit card in their online registration.

We understand that attendance at SJC may be financially difficult. Please check the Scholarships page to see if you qualify for registration assistance.

Changing your registration: 

For all registration changes and updates, email the WRJ Registrar or call 212-650-4050.

SJC Registration Refunds: 

If you register for SJC 2025 and are no longer able to attend, you must email WRJ Registrar with your cancellation request and include the reason for the cancellation. A full refund of the registration fee originally paid, less a $50 administrative fee to cover credit card processing costs, will be provided for requests received on or before March 20, 2025. After this date, no refunds will be provided, as WRJ will have already incurred non-refundable expenses on your behalf. In the event of extraordinary circumstances, such as a documented illness, death in the family, or inclement weather that makes travel impossible, WRJ will seek reimbursement from our vendors on your behalf, but please note that no refund of any amount is guaranteed.

Please allow up to four weeks after the conclusion of the event for your refund to be processed. We are not able to offer a credit balance toward future WRJ events.
 

Delegation Rebate:

If you are joining us as part of a congregational/sisterhood/women's group delegation (10 or more paying attendees from the same group), be sure to indicate which group you belong to, in your registration. In the spring and after SJC, we will issue a rebate of $54 per person to each paying registrant from your delegation.

All paying attendees from the same group - both from the Full and Empowerment attendance packages - count toward your delegation.
