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.

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.
