Membership Benefits

Mission

As a State Women’s Chamber within the Union, we have a big role to play in supporting college students, women in top positions, small-to large businesses, corporate executives, government employees and all women in the workforce. To create an economic community for women through Education, training, networking, financial, partnerships and alliances. To promote Growth, diversity and economic development of women and minority women, to achieve the integration of women into leadership roles. We also make sure all our voices are heard in Washington, D.C. on many issues facing women in the 21st Century.

Vision and Diversity

To increased awareness and intention around diversity in Nevada and our membership reflects just that. WCCNV puts an emphasis on diversity, with alliances through Minority Chambers which are very important to the state of Nevada and Globally. We will continue to advise companies to offer more opportunities for women and minority-owned businesses and hire minority women in higher level positions in Nevada.

The Women's Chamber

Does not discriminate with gender, women and men may join in keeping with the Federal Law. The men that join, happen to own major corporations that help women and support our efforts in the community as a Women’s Chamber. The men that own other small businesses that join WCCNV is because women are their targeted market and they have representatives from their company and most times they are are husband and wife teams.

Note

The Women’s Chamber is close, but (not 100% yet) in making your membership all-inclusive.

The Women’s Chamber also lowered its rates back in January 2008 to keep up with the economy and your budget while you build your business/career. Prices will go up next year, if you become a member now, and keep your membership current, your rates will never go up, once you join.

If you do not take advantage of your benefits, you are not getting the full potential of your investment. You are also not meeting fellow members and guest(s) at all events, which will bring you more visibility to your business while building your business relationships.

In today’s Economy you are not doing business the way you did last year. It’s not about just networking anymore, today you have to manage your time very carefully, figure out where to invest your hard earn money, you have to work harder at building business relationships, and market and advertise your business today to keep yourself very visible.

“Time’s they are a changing” (slogan)
Business today is much harder and different then it was even a year ago, (which will never be the same), so unless you have the right guidance, contacts, resources and know the people you are trying to do business with, it will take more of your time, money, not to mention harder to keep your business afloat.

The Women’s Chamber is your core resource to the Women’s Business World, start with meeting the members within your peer group (this chamber). Once you have met and started to building relationships within your peer group, the domino effect sets in, they now know you, and trust you.

It is the trust factor that we all need right now, remember years ago he “Free World,” so please take advantage of your membership, especially at these low rates.

These benefits plus Extended Benefits for Bronze Membership on up to corporate, upon request only.
