Member to Member Connections

Opportunities to form new business relationships and friendships are one of the key benefits of WIBA membership. As with other membership-based organizations, WIBA has a policy that member contact information is not to be used for mass emails or solicitations. The policy is in place because we understand and respect the busy lives of our members. We appreciate your understanding and compliance with this policy. There are several other ways to connect with other members! Place your special event on the WIBA website under Community Calendar. Upcoming event listings will be included in the newsletter. Have a discount you’d like to offer to our members? Enter those details in our Member Coupons section of our website. Update your entry in the Membership directory online, including contact information, website, social media links and a description of your business. Sponsor a luncheon or social mixer. Sponsorship provides the ability to leave flyers or handouts and speak to members from the podium during the event. Attend events! Face-to-face connections are a powerful way to form new relationships. Take advantage of the luncheons and other events to meet other members. Exchange business cards and set up a time to meet again.
