VIP Membership Celebration Recap
On January 25th we had our inaugural VIP Membership Party to celebrate our members and VIP punch card program that we launched in 2012 to encourage members to be involved with WiD. This is a rewards program available to WiD members only; punches are granted at events and collected at the end of the year.
We were floored with donations to give away to lucky participates and new members that joined that night. We had around 150 people attend to enjoy cocktails, appetizers, music, a photobooth, and shop tours of Von Design. Plenty of fun was had as many new connections were made and old ones reunited. Due to the overwhelming positive feedback and great turnout we have decided to make this an annual event!
Not only was this event fun but it was a huge overall success for our organization. We increased our membership the night of the party by almost 20% and now have a total of 231 active members. Our theme this year is “Building Community, Community Building” and we definitely feel like we are starting this year with a strong community of women in the professions serving the built environment. At this event we also collected enough money from our drink donations to cover the cost of the foam for our “Cushions for a Cause Habitat for Humanity Project”. Thanks for your generosity and support!
We also met many enthusiastic members eager to get involved which builds upon the momentum and energy of our organization. We are looking forward to seeing all of the new faces as well as our current members at our upcoming events in 2013!
