Schedule a Call

The paid membership includes a listing in our Online Directory on the website, which will be publicly searchable. You'll also benefit from unlimited access to Zoom meetings, discounts and freebies from other paid members, and entry to a members-only Facebook group, along with all the advantages of participating in the main Facebook group. In line with our dedication to supporting those in need, the in-person networking events in Cary and Raleigh on Thursday mornings will continue to be free for all women.

Yes, in-person meet-ups are part of the membership, and members will have priority access if space is limited; however, most events are open to all women. TWN bi-weekly networking meetings will remain free, giving everyone the opportunity to connect with new people and offering an option for those who may not be able to afford the cost.

The one-time registration fee accounts for the time spent during the 30-minute call, as well as the effort involved in entering your information and photos into the directory.

We want you to be all in! However, there are no "musts." We encourage you to attend events regularly and participate actively in whatever capacity you can, but there are no specific requirements beyond adhering to the group's core values.

Yes, and no. The paid version is designed for members who are committed to TWN, seeking deeper connections and aligning with our core values. This membership offers additional benefits while still allowing participation in our free in-person networking events and engagement in the main Facebook group. It stands apart due to a greater level of involvement and exclusive access to features like the Online Directory and unlimited Zoom meetings. However, it retains a familiar atmosphere, as the admin team will be present at all events to ensure a cohesive vibe.

No. Historically, we have restricted access to the main Facebook group to women living or working in Raleigh and the greater Triangle area, as the focus was on in-person meetings and local business connections. However, with the introduction of the paid membership, women from other areas can now join, as they can participate via Zoom. TWN recognizes that many women-owned small businesses and solopreneurs now operate on a global scale.

Yes, unless we are already familiar with you. The purpose of the call is to get to know all our members, answer any questions about TWN, and enhance our ability to serve and connect everyone effectively. Although it's not a screening interview, we want to ensure that you are a good fit and align with our core values before joining.

Whether you're a small business owner, solopreneur, employed in a sales position, looking for work, or seeking friendship, TWN is for you. While many of our members are business owners or aspiring entrepreneurs, we also encourage non-business owners to join, especially at our social events. Since TWN isn’t just a business networking group, there are plenty of opportunities for personal growth and forming friendships. Besides, we all know someone who might need a service or product, or who could be looking for a job or recommendation.

Sort of, but not really. Paid members are expected to uphold TWN’s core values, but we cannot guarantee specific outcomes or experiences, nor are we liable for any issues. While we aim to include members whose values align with ours and will address problematic behavior, there is no formal screening process. Our goal is to create a safe environment built on trust, which may involve removing members whose behavior does not align with our values. Ultimately, TWN focuses on fostering acceptance and supporting personal growth rather than being overly restrictive.

We ask that you commit to one year of membership, regardless of whether you opt for the monthly or annual plan. Commitment is a core value for TWN, reflecting a deeper level of interest and involvement, and it allows time to cultivate meaningful connections and achieve positive outcomes. However, we understand that flexibility may be necessary in certain circumstances.

Yes, Founders can upgrade to include membership for a combined fee of $39.99 per month. This upgrade will elevate you to Premium Founder status and provide all the benefits of TWN Membership, including a listing in the online directory and access to discounts available to paid members.
