- An active member must own at least 25% of her business and be actively engaged in the daily management and operation of the business for at least 30 hours per week.
- An associate member is someone who does not meet the above criteria, but may join at the discretion of the WBOM board of directors. (Space is limited for associate membership, because our by-laws state that at least 75% of our membership must fall into the active member category.)
|
- A member must have an established business and be vitally interested in its growth and expansion. A member must be self-motivated, goal-oriented and openly enthusiastic about their business. A member should be dependent upon themselves for their own livelihood, both psychologically and financially, and be actively seeking a profit. A member should be responsible for the direction and control of the resources of her business. A member should have the ability to devote time and expertise to the continued growth, development and retention of the membership of Women Business Owners of Michiana.
- And, last but not least, a member should have the mental attitude of a chief executive officer.
