Message from our President
This month is March Membership Madness for EWN! 
For all new or returning members, a one-year membership purchased this month will come with 5 extra months of membership - all for the great price of $100.
Why bother joining, you might ask? Yes, it costs less to attend our events if you're a Member. And maybe you have done the math (like I do) and are wondering if it's worth it given the number of events you attend and other budget priorities. But did you know:
- We are revamping our sponsorship opportunities for Members to include a wider array of choices at more affordable price points. Promote your business to EWN audiences - in person or online.
- You can have the opportunity to be featured as a Member-of-the-Month in our EWN Newsletter which goes out to nearly 1,000 recipients.
- We are launching our new "Membership Madness" events, the first being held this month on March 21st, giving Members the spotlight to talk about their businesses and how EWN has helped them grow.
- You can demonstrate your skills and talents and win clients by leading one of our "Hands-On" workshops, a new event series scheduled to launch in May and available to Members only.
- Members can create and update personalized business profiles on EWN's website, accessible to all members and website visitors alike, and achieve broader reach than ever before via EWN's LinkedIn and Facebook communities.
- And only Members can participate in our new and improved MasterMind Program free-of-charge. These business mentoring groups are now led by facilitators - and we do the organizing for you!
If you have been a Visitor until now, please consider joining our great community - and pass the word along too! The price of a membership has never been more worth it.
See you on March 15 for our Panel Discussion Luncheon on "Setting, Managing & Exceeding Client Expectations...Every Time!" Hopefully you'll walk away with some new strategies for dealing with your clients.
Happy March!
Anne Wilkins
EWN President
