Webinar Outreach Wing Mission

”Education is Empowering"

Webinar Outreach Wing About Us

Dear Friends,

The Webinar Outreach wing was created during the onset of the pandemic in 2020.

It was an effective way of reaching out and keeping the community connected at a time when everyone was feeling confused, isolated, and concerned about their health.

It immediately caught on with our audience, allowing us to grow our community around the world and expanding our outreach. Our acclaimed Health and Wellness experts have provided clarity, reassurance, and advice to us to this day.

We are constantly evolving and striving to meet the needs of the moment.

We are very grateful to our community partners, our ambassadors and to our audience, for their wholehearted support and enthusiasm in embracing our effort of empowering through education, the main goal of The Ripple Effect Wellness Organization.

It has been a rewarding and fulfilling journey thus far and we thank you for coming along with us. Best regards,

Founding Member & Chairperson,

Smita Chandra

“I have been invited to collaborate with WOW and The Ripple Effect on two occasions now as a Speaker, and I can honestly say I have witnessed up close and personally the passion this organization has for elevating people, and lifting society in general. Smita, Asha and the rest of the leadership team are a delight to work with, and dedicated to their mission of bringing relevant information, education, and inspiration to their audiences. I am glad to be a part of each other’s community and am looking forward to more.”

“This webinar demonstrated cause, effect and prevention examples for common digital communication-based risks.

From a management perspective, the event was well-organized and produced, including a rehearsal.

I would recommend other speakers work with the The Ripple Effect Wellness Organization if asked.”
