Benefits of Your WBOC Membership
Media/Press
It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has normal distribution of letters.
WBOC offers benefits to all women in business.
We have members who:
Are just starting their business (or maybe even just starting it in their mind!) -- or have years of experience as entrepreneurs
Own their own business -- or are employed by a business
What we all have in common is a desire to learn, mentor and move up to the next level -- to become the best we can be.
We participate with WomenTies and WISE, acknowledging that women can be stronger and make greater strides by all working and supporting each other, and not staying in silos. We also support the new CNY United Way initiative to support women.
Educational Programs
WBOC holds a monthly meeting for the full membership and guests. The program year spans from September thru June.
All of these meeting but the following have an educational focus:
The December meeting is traditionally our WBOC Holiday Party & Auction.
Our April meeting is a free networking event hosted by WBOC, WISE Business Center and Syracuse WOMAN magazine.
Our June meeting is a celebration of the past year, and the program spotlights three members, who describe their journey related to the theme of the year.
Networking takes place before and after each meeting.

Connections Meetings
Connections Meetings are an opportunity to get together with a small group of WBOC exclusive members led by a host over a “dutch-treat” lunch or breakfast for the purpose of establishing stronger professional relationships.
This is an excellent opportunity to talk in more detail about yourself and your business to other members of WBOC.
Attendance numbers are determined by the host. To attend, you need to register.
If you are a member and interested in hosting a Connections Meeting, please email [email protected] for next steps.
