Committees

The Membership Committee promotes a welcoming, affirming and supportive environment within WBC for members and non-members. Each month they are assigned tasks to welcome non-members and members to our luncheons and provide new member orientation on a rotating basis. Membership is grown by contacting prospective members.

The Cocktail Connections Committee is responsible for assisting sponsors with monthly Business Card Exchanges. The group works with sponsors to publicize the event, and also provides mentoring.

The Community Outreach Committee is responsible for charitable and other community programs the Board may approve from time to time. The committee acts as liaison with WBC’s community outreach partner and seeks other outreach programs for WBC.

The Marketing & PR Committee works to find new and innovative ways to increase the WBC’s visibility. The committee evaluates member feedback to provide value-added services to the membership. It also reaches out to new markets to grow the WBC, and communicates with local news and social media outlets to provide information regarding the group, its members in action and upcoming events. This committee also publishes a newsletter which serves as a means of communicating information regarding WBC, its members and topics of interest to the membership.

The Programming Committee plans and executes the programming for the regular monthly meetings, which includes contacting and maintaining a list of prospective speakers for the meetings.

The Special Events Committee is responsible for planning and executing special WBC events, such as the annual Expo and annual Awards Celebration.
