Lunch meetings are held the second Wednesday of every month. Annual membership dues are $75, due by April 30 each year. Guests may attend twice before deciding to become a member.

Women’s Network of Rapid City Membership belongs to you, the individual, not the company you work for. Multiple individuals may attend from any given company; however, each individual must maintain her own membership.

Greeters are members who have volunteered to welcome visitors prior to the meeting starting and agree to explain the meeting’s format, plus answer any questions guests may have.

50/50 “Split the Pot” Raffle Tickets tickets are sold at each luncheon for $1.00 each. The winner takes home half of the day’s total, while the other half benefits the Women’s Network scholarship fund. Our scholarship fund offers financial support to our members who are pursuing further training or classes.

Literature Members may share 3×5 or smaller literature items on the tables. Larger pieces can be placed on the literature table. If you have a question, please ask a board member first.

Business promotion is a member-only privilege. Members have 30 seconds to introduce and promote their business at each luncheon. Guests are eligible to network only if you have submitted the membership application & payment to the Treasurer prior to networking. Guests may introduce themselves and mention the company they are with; once membership dues have been paid, they may share their 30-second commercial.

Networking are available takes place between 11:45 and 12:00 pm, so we encourage members to arrive early, order their lunch, and have time to visit. Depending on our agenda for the day, there is additional time after the luncheon to network.

Door Prizes are donated by members at each luncheon to promote their business or organization. Drop your business card in the “Members” basket when you arrive to be eligible to win. If you are donating a prize, it must be totally free. You do not have to bring a price to be eligible to win one!

Business Card Drawing Drop your business card in the basket when you arrive and take one when you leave. This gives each member another opportunity to get to know another member over coffee or lunch over the course of the next month.

Shoutouts are given (time permitting) at the end of the meeting for services, products, and experiences you have had with other members business. It’s a public way to acknowledge and promote others within the group. We ask that you limit these to 10-15 seconds each to allow time for more shoutouts.

Ladies’ Night is the third Thursday of every month and is limited to members only. We meet at 5:30 pm at a local establishment to get to know each other on a more personal level. The location is announced at our luncheon; we also post it on our members-only Facebook page.
