Start a new Chapter in your home or business location

How to get started

1. Find a location with a private space for 10-20 with parking. The space must be held for your chapter meeting for 1 year (same time and day of the month)  We have successfully used Panera Bread- Kings. Your office space may also work.
   
2. Meetings are 90 minutes-* note Tuesday Wednesday and Thursdays are the best days for meetings.  Start times range from 7am - 8:30 am-12 noon or 6 PM (if you choose 12 noon you will want to have food available).
   
3. You begin with 5 business women in different categories. The chapter grows when your members invite their business contacts who become members. The chapter grows to a maximum of 20 members.  See category list WI-N BUSINESS CATEGORIES.xlsx
   
4. The new members fill out this form and pay with a check WI-N membership Application.docx  or they may go to the website and fill out the form and pay online.
5. As a hosting member if you have the meeting in your office space you get a discount on your membership.
6. You will have help. Tracy Eisenman will attend your first meeting to support you during your first experience.
7. The meetings are well formatted and you will receive everything you need to run the meeting. As the Chapter Rep you have access to a webpage just for Chapter Reps.
   
8. To get started, simply find your space and your people. When all 5 or more women agree to become members contact Tracy and let her know you are ready to get started 1 month prior to your first meeting.
