Whatcom Women’s Network is a welcoming group of professional businesswomen who use the power of networking to make business connections, promote their business, make and receive member-to-member referrals, and build new friendships.

Our meetings are the ideal way to stay focused on growing relationships, generating business, and keeping your business top-of-mind with potential clients and referral partners.

A strong referral network is one of the most effective approaches to marketing your product or service.

We strive to serve our community by growing local businesses, supporting local charities, and fostering a network of relationships.

On average, word-of-mouth drives $6 trillion in annual global spending and is responsible for 13% of all sales. Word-of-mouth is even more effective than paid ads, resulting in five times more sales. 28% of people say that word-of-mouth increases brand affinity (a customer’s common values with a brand).
