Member Testimonials

What do our members say about our Chapter?

From Owner of Online Retailer of Invitation and Stationery:

"I found WPO on the Internet because I was looking for an organization of business owners who had to meet certain sales requirements in order to join. I wasn’t necessarily looking for a woman organization, but have been pleasantly surprised with how WPO being a woman organization really fosters openness and candor in dealing with so many pressing issues. I would highly recommend this group; in fact I joined on the same day I attended a meeting!"

"Being a member of the Tampa WPO Chapter gives me access to women business owners who have each overcome their own adversity to make their dreams a reality, and are willing to share their experiences and provide the ongoing personal and professional support needed to continue to grow and thrive together!"

From Owner of Loyalty Marketing Company:

"The Chapter allows me a sounding board with like-minded women. It also gives me a chance to help other women work through their problems and we share our knowledge. I also wanted to benefit from the educational components of WPO at Conferences and meetings."
