No Guest Speaker - Let's just talk and celebrate ourselves! What's happening with your business as we approach mid-year? What will you be doing to fit some summer fun in with work, family, and life? We've had two recent speakers helping us get going with our ideas, our planning, and facing our resistance. Let's share, brainstorm and be there to support each other.

Membership information is below. Please contact group leader, Donna Dettling at WomenBalancingBusiness@gmail.com if you have questions.

We have added another level of participation, a Drop-In Fee of $10 per meeting (payable at the meeting), for those who can only attend occasionally. We hope this will encourage visitors and previous members to come back when they are able, if they are hesitant to commit to membership due to schedule conflicts. They will not receive the full benefits of membership, but will be able to enjoy the meetings and speakers.

Benefits of membership:
1) Accountability for business and personal goal setting and growth
2) Receive and provide support within the group and with guests
3) Networking with like-minded business women

5) Opportunities for member spotlights at meetings and on web page

Policies:
Since we are not a leads generating networking group, we do not restrict the number of members who belong to each business category. In Women Balancing Business, the emphasis is on friendship and support in all aspects of our lives, rather than competition for business. In this spirit, we hope that members in the same category will be able to co-exist.
