What is required of a member?
An annual commitment of a $1,000 grant contribution and $100 administrative fee. Members choose their own level of involvement. Some simply like knowing that 100% of their grant contribution will be put to good use in the community. Others enjoy participating as an occasional volunteer or attending a Member Engagement Event to meet other like-minded women. And some may want to take a deep dive and get involved in one of our committees: Grants, Membership, Sponsorship, Communications, Events & Member Engagement.
