The greatest member benefit
is the members themselves.
WBON is worth your time. Here’s
some WBON member feedback:
WBON offers the opportunity to learn from one
another and develop relationships. Members
discuss challenges and triumphs, share questions and
resources, and receive invaluable advice from women
who have been there and are wiser and more
successful for the journey.
“WBON goes a long way to lessen the isolation I feel as the
sole proprietor of a consulting business.”
At the same time, we have fun and maintain a
realistic outlook on life and our pursuit of business
success. We’re serious about our businesses but we
don’t take ourselves too seriously.
At the chapter meetings, conferences, expos, and
roundtables, members resoundingly affirm that
getting to know each other is what truly makes their
WBON membership worthwhile.
You’re invited to attend up to three chapter meetings
to experience WBON before you join.
Suzanne D. Stofflet
Marketing & Development Consultant, Norwich, VT
“WBON members always provide me with the smiles,
support and encouragement I need to keep growing and
looking forward with excited anticipation to the future.”
Christine Tattersall
Tattersall’s Clothing Emporium, Rutland, VT
“When I first began my business, I needed WBON to
validate my existence! Now I continue to value the Chapter
Meetings a lot. Thank you, WBON!”
Joanna Rueter
Home & Office Organizer, Newfane, VT
“WBON is a great resource for getting to know ‘who’s doing what’ in the community. I often refer clients to WBON
members and use their services myself.”
Terry Stone
Business Consultant, Colchester, VT
“I don’t think you can put a price tag on the good advice,
good friends and the great listening I’ve gotten through
WBON.”

Women Business
Owners Network (WBON)
is Vermont’s statewide
association for women
business owners.
Since 1984, we’ve been offering a forum for members to exchange information and resources in an
atmosphere of candor, humor and mutual respect.
Our membership now extends into New Hampshire
and upstate New York. WBON was created when
five Vermont women business owners saw a need
to:
Encourage and support women who
own and operate businesses



Encourage the ownership of businesses
by women
Improve the climate for
entrepreneurship and small business
Today, women owned businesses are far more
common and have access to wider opportunities,
but there is as much need as ever to meet—because
we are women in business. We thrive when we
connect and grow together.
Regardless of the size or type of business, women
in business are kindred spirits. Our business lives
are integral to our personal and family lives. At
WBON, we share the joys and strains that being a
business owner brings to the whole woman, not just
her business self.
