Networking with NAWBO®

Networking with fellow NAWBO businesswomen in a wide variety of fields is a wonderful way to build your resource and client list.  But remember: One meeting does not a network make!  Invest time and effort in your Chapter, serve on committees, attend events, be a resource. Do this, and the rewards will come -- not only in business growth, but in friendships and the great pleasure you can take in giving of yourself.  If you're looking for ways to get even more from your NAWBO GM experience, please check our Get Involved! page.

Networking opportunities abound at NAWBO Greater Milwaukee.  Be sure to take full advantage of all that your membership offers!
 

Meetings
At each meeting, you'll have the opportunity to introduce yourself and your business to the entire group as part of our regular member introductions.  And, of course, you'll be seated with a table of other businesswomen as you enjoy your meal and the featured speaker. A networking period, prior to the program, is built into each meeting as well!  Maximize your networking opportunities by arriving promptly to take advantage of the networking period, sit with new faces, and enjoy the company!
 

Nothin' But Networking
NAWBO GM women want networking, and that's exactly what our popular Nothin' But Networking events deliver!  These events typically include hors d'oeuvres or a buffet, and great networking opportunities are always on the menu!  You'll have the pleasure of mixing and mingling in a relaxed setting with other attendees, exchanging information, learning what others have to offer, and promoting your own business.  You'll want to bring plenty of business cards, and a friend or colleague, to these fun evening events! 
Check our calendar to find out when our next Nothin' But Networking event is scheduled.
 

Networking Table
At each regular meeting, a Networking Table is available to members and partners.  Please bring your business cards, newsletters, brochures, or anything else you'd like to share with your fellow members.
 

Annual Fund Raising Auction
Volunteer to serve on the 2007-2008 Auction Committee and help plan this year's event which raises money for the Chapter - helping us to offer scholarships to our members - and for our selected beneficiary.  This year, our annual auction will benefit Bottomless Closet.  The Bottomless Closet Milwaukee is a private, non-profit organization dedicated to improving the status of women by providing work appropriate clothing and other supportive services so that they can be come economically self-sufficient, and develop greater self-reliance.

Auction involvement provides many opportunities to network among the membership and in the community.  Remember: We always need your donations to make the auction a success -- please remember to set aside those great items throughout the year!  Contact our Event Chairs Cassandra Wind or Sue Denzine to get involved!
 

Committees
Nothing results in better networking than serving on a committee and working with fellow members and others towards a common goal.  Be sure to check the Get Involved! page for opportunities to serve, or speak with any Board member.
