Benefits of Your WBOC Membership
WBOC offers benefits to all women in business. We have members who:
- Are just starting their business (or maybe even just starting it in their mind!) -- or have years of experience as entrepreneurs
- Own their own business -- or are employed by a business
What we all have in common is a desire to learn, mentor and move up to the next level -- to become the best we can be.
We participate with WomenTies and WISE, acknowledging that women can be stronger and make greater strides by all working and supporting each other, and not staying in silos. We also support the new CNY United Way initiative to support women.
