Testimonials
“CBW is a great group! It is nice to meet other business women and be able to talk about relevant issues concerning business women. Word-of-mouth referrals are the best way to meet new clients!"
-
Michelle Pray, Welcoming Neighbor
“CBW is a fun group of women. In addition to camaraderie, I have received many lasting referrals”
- Joanne Badeaux, Attorney
The Council of Business Women is a non-profit entrepreneurial support group dedicated to these purposes: (1) To provide opportunities of professional growth in an atmosphere of mutual support; (2) To provide opportunities to cultivate business conacts and referrals; (3) To provide marketing resources and encourage patronage of members' businesses; and (4) To exchange ideas and information and assist members in solving business issues and problems as they arise.
What Does Membership to CBW Provide?
Your annual membership of $50.00 allows you to participate in all CBW luncheons and events.
As a member, your name, business and contact information will be listed on our website, (cbw-bayarea.org). Knowing more about each member helps build relationships, which is essential in business.
As a member of CBW, you are also entitled to attend the activities of the following Chambers of Commerce:
Clear Lake Chamber
Friendswood Chamber
League City Chamber
You are attending those functions as a representative of CBW, but conversation almost always allows you to state your business, hence the reason you are in CBW. Should you desire to get more involved with committees in those chambers, you would need to join one or more individually.
