Women's Networking Alliance Members

Founded in 2007, The Women's Networking Alliance was created to enable a networking of women business owners that can truly and genuinely help one another. Formed in small groups of no more than 30 businesswomen, each chapter is designed to ensure strong partnerships in an intimate setting.

What makes WNA successful? Several qualities.

First, the individual person and how they present their business, support their fellow members and participate is critical. Members must attend the meetings, should provide the right marketing tools and education so the other members understand how to speak to their products, programs or services and lastly, should look for opportunities for each other.

Second, a desire to share ideas in all facets of our business, a willingness to speak to wins/losses's and the courage to speak up when you are struggling will allow the entire group to easily grow together personally and professionally.

Lastly, having an extreme level of honesty, integrity and trust is absolutely required. We are sharing a lot of personal information amongst the group and we must feel we can trust that our "sharing" is kept confidential and not shared with anyone, especially in the form of gossip.

A few specifics:

Chapter sizes are not to exceed 30 members. This ensures an intimate setting and a meeting size/length that is manageable and meaningful.

Meetings should be held regularly and frequency should be decided at t local chapter level.

Chapters are required to do a minimum of one community service project a year.

Annual dues for WNA are $150 and are non-refundable. WNA accepts checks, cash and Paypal.

One of the main purposes of this group is to networking with people that will support your product and services. In addition to using your fellow members product/service, we work very hard to generate leads and referrals that will hopefully turn into income for you. The success of this group is dependent on your support including identification of potential opportunities for each member. There are, however, no minimum requirements for leads/referrals.

As a member, you are encouraged to bring materials that will help your fellow team members successfully speak to your product/service. This may include samples, brochures, business cards, etc. A file for marketing materials including business cards is brought to each meeting. Make sure your section is full at all times!

WNA supports a "non competing" structure meaning that new members must not be a competitor or in a matching business (within the chapter) as an existing member without approval by the chapter president and competitor.

WNA is about forming sincere and genuine partnerships in an environment which is comfortable and "real". If you're interested in applying for member, we recommend you check your area to see if there is a chapter formed and if there is a competing business in that chapter.
