Become a Sponsor

Want to get instant publicity with our members?

Want to see your business’s name on our flyers, agendas and newsletters?
Want to have WEB EXPOSURE and come up in search engines?

YOUR COMPANY can become a sponsor of American Business Women’s Association, Women of Wisdom in Beachwood Ohio.

Here is what you need to do:

Sponsor a Dinner Meeting: We ask for $100 for the catering, which covers 15 to 20 people. This is not tax deductible, but you can use it as an advertising expense. When we receive such sponsoring, we put your logo on our flyers, newsletters and agendas for a year. If you attend the meeting, we will waive our meeting fee and introduce you recognizing your generosity. If you have something you have written up with pictures and web site links, I can post a nice article on our web site. You can use the “permalink” (just ask me if you have questions) to send to people to show you have web presence.


Scholarship or Charity:
Give to our scholarship fund or a charity that we are having an event for, just send us any amount, and we will do the same as above. This money is tax deductible.


Let me know if you should have any questions. Thank you so much for your interest.


Sincerely,

Tracy Drogalus

President, Women of Wisdom

NEW DAY! — 2ND WEDNESDAYS OF MONTH

Hello everyone!
I hope everyone is have great holidays and enjoying the winter season.

In an effort to bring in more interest and members, we have moved our meetings to the 2nd Wednesday of every month for 2008!

This happened after I spoke to many female entrepreneurs around Cleveland who said they have their Entrepreneur’s meetings on the third Tuesday of each month and could not attend any of our meetings. Since ABWA is a professional organization, these women would be a great asset to our group, attending meetings and possibly joining as members.

So, I hope our existing members continue to enjoy our fascinating speaker and events, while welcoming in new faces! 

2008 is packed with more amazing speakers that will provide sought after advice. You spoke, we listened, so we hope you will take advantage of these meetings on personal finance & taxes, eNetworking, leadership and more!We have also added a calendar of events. Please click on CALENDAR to the right of this page (area in red) to find upcoming meetings and others’ events.

Thanks again for your understanding. See you in January!!
