Membership Information

ELIGIBILITY

WBOPB Membership is open to women who currently own, co-own, or are in the start-up phase of their own business.​ Your membership will be recorded in the name of the individual, not the organization. All members will be required to pay dues in accordance with their date of official membership. Dues are non-refundable and are not deductible as a charitable contribution for Federal Income Tax purposes. Members will be expected to uphold the strong reputation of the organization by creating, doing, working, and positively affecting the community as business owners. Membership dues are $50 annually. These are due for the calendar year and are not prorated based on when you join during the year. Anyone wishing to attend our events may, even if you are not eligible to be a "member". Cost for non-members to attend events is $5 per event, excluding annual event.

What I absolutely love about WBOPB, is the opportunity to work with like-minded women who are striving to increase their business and do great things in our community together.

We were able to open our store with a ton of support from this group. I don't think we would have been as successful as we were with our grand opening without the WBOPB!
