Serious About Networking
Women's Power Networking is serious about networking support for our members. Our tone is social and supportive as much as it is about business and marketing. We do also have a networking system that has brought our women both joy and increased business.
There are three levels of participation for members of Coffee and Contacts. For each level members receive points for certain services. When a member has reached a specific high total of points for their activities they are rewarded with a gift certificate in their chapter and a visual award on the WPN website denoting their high level of networking support. The level of effort required is equivalent to 50 simple networking activites or 10 of the highest level networking activities.
The flower designation next to a member's name denotes their energy and enthusiasm for networking with and supporting the businesses of the other members. Each one who has earned this distinction at least once has repeatedly practiced the art of active networking support of others. You can see the flower next to their name on their chapter member page.
