Chapters & Community
How do chapters work?
Each WBL chapter is led by local leaders and meets regularly to foster connection, collaboration, and growth within their local community.
Members who would benefit from more networking within their physical location typically join one primary chapter but gain access to the broader WBL network. Each chapter limits membership to one seat per profession.
Can I join if there isn’t a chapter near me?
Yes! You can:
- Join a virtual chapter
- Join the broader WBL Community
- Attend events in nearby areas
- Apply to start your own chapter!
Can I start a chapter?
Absolutely.
WBL encourages women to step into leadership by launching chapters in their communities, with full support and guidance from the organization. See here for more information!
