To qualify for WIP membership, please see the requirements below. If qualified and interested in joining or requesting a courtesy invitation for a one-time attendance to our soirees (held the first Tuesday of each month), please complete the PROSPECTIVE MEMBER FORM.

 

For membership upon receipt, the Coordinator will follow-up  to set up a 20 minute introduction meeting with two current members. This meeting allows prospective members to get a better sense of our collective, and for WIP leadership to learn more about each prospective member and if the collective can meet the needs desired.  Following final approval, a confirmation notice will be sent for initial dues subscription and membership activation.
