The importance of chamber membership
Greater Fort Wayne Inc., serving as the chamber of commerce and primary economic development organization for Fort Wayne and Allen County, works to develop a nationally recognized economy. Our belief is that success for our community benefits everyone. Because of this, membership in the Women’s Network requires a membership in GFW Inc.
Here’s how that affects Women’s Network membership dues:
To join the GFW Inc. Women’s Network, there is an annual membership fee of $50 per person. This fee contributes to the administrative costs of the Women’s Network program. If your employer or company is already an investor in GFW Inc., this annual fee is the only requirement for your membership!
Women’s Network events are open to all. However, to be a member of the Women’s Network program, you (or your employer) must also be a member of GFW Inc. Our team is happy to walk you through the benefits of chamber membership.
To get started on becoming a GFW Inc. member, complete the online member application. If you’d like more details before signing up, please call our office at 260-420-6945 or email Kimi Wilder at kwilder@gfwinc.com.
Thanks to the generosity of our community and investors, we can provide Women’s Network memberships to those who need financial help. This support eliminates barriers, creating greater diversity and inclusion. If you’re interested in sponsoring someone’s membership, please reach out to Meghan Short at mshort@gfwinc.com.
