Welcome!

Women’s Network of Rapid City (WNRC) is a growing and vibrant community of women who support and encourage each other in our businesses. We promote professional and personal growth and development for our members.

In addition to our monthly luncheon, we offer members-only networking events and activities. 

WNRC also sets aside scholarship money for members who are continuing their career-related education. Women’s Network $250 Scholarships are awarded once a year. Current members seeking financial assistance for professional related conventions, trainings, seminars, etc. can request a scholarship application from one of our board members. 

Upcoming event:

January 8, 2024 | 11:45AM to 1:00PM

LAST-MINUTE LOCATION CHANGE:
324 ST. JOSEPH 

Come see the new Pure Bean location and network with us!

We just found out that due to no heat or electricity in the new Fork Real location (and the freezing cold temps), we will not be able to work on Wednesday.

Instead, we’ll meet in the back room at the new Pure Bean location (old Fork Real) — 324 St. Joseph St.

Soup and Salad bar will be available for $8 (and we’ll be able to purchase Pure Bean drinks as well).

We apologize for the last-minute change of plans — and we hope to see you there!

No need to RSVP. Simply arrive with a smile! 

Join our email list for a reminder each month.

My New British Boyfriend

He said, “How can I help?” and I fell in love. It was the accent that did it. Plus, I was at a vulnerable point in my life—or at least, in my day....
