Joining Our Organization

Membership to Women in Business is capped at approximately 120 active members, which leads us to require an application and interview process to obtain membership. Each semester, a written application is sent out to prospective members, and if selected, a number of women are invited to participate in 1-2 rounds of meet-and-greet style interviews with the leadership team. Once membership is obtained, members must meet point requirements to remain in active member status with the organization and maintain eligibility to participate in events.
