Frequently Asked Questions

What does BWNFC stand for?

Business Women’s Network of Fort Collins.

What is a networking group?

A networking group is an effective means of getting to know other business women. It is not a structured leads group. Though networking with other members you will develop relationships and naturally grow your business.

What do you do?

We meet for lunch each month. We encourage you to come early to meet new people and get to know the members. During our meetings you’ll have an opportunity to introduce yourself and your business using a 30 second commercial. We have an educational speaker share on a topic of interest to everyone in attendance.

What are your attendance requirements?

You may be a guest two times – after that membership is required to attend our meetings. We encourage you to attend every monthly meeting to take full advantage of your membership. We do understand that conflicts may arise once or twice a year.

What is the WDC?

Women’s Development Council (WDC) is the umbrella for several networking organizations in northern Colorado. The WDC is a non-profit group designed to enhance the personal and professional development of women in business. Visit the site at www.WDCcolorado.org.

Can I just come a few times a year as a visitor?

You can be a visitor only twice per year.

What do I need to do to join?

You can join at any monthly meeting or you may email us at membership@bwnfc.org. Membership is annually from January-December. Our annual fee is currently $80.

How does the BWNFC promote itself?

The power of "word of mouth" has proven to be the most successful means of communication since the beginning of time. We do, however, send out press releases and consistently have a presence at numerous other networking organizations in northern Colorado. Our website is very
effective in letting people know about us too.

Do you ever get together outside of meetings?

YOU BET!! We may take our networking serious, but we sure know how to have a great time doing it! We have an incredible "social coordinator" that organizes a quarterly social for members only.
