FAQ's


How do I become a member?

New members come to NFW by invitation of an existing member. A prospective member must attend at least two meetings (lunch, social, board) as the guest of her sponsor. An application and dues payment is submitted online. The sponsor confirms that she is eligible to sponsor. The board of directors then considers the application.

What are the criteria to become a member?

  • Be in control of your time (the idea here is that the applicant can attend the once-a-month two-hour meeting).
  • Secure the sponsorship of an active member.
  • Attend two events as the guest of the sponsor (monthly luncheons, board meetings and/or socials).
  • Receive approval by the Board of Directors.
