Corporate Member Referral Program for Chapters

Corporate Member Referral Program for WiM Chapters

Effective April 1, 2025 – March 31, 2026
HOW IT WORKS
  • Chapters will be incentivized for referring companies or organizations for WiM corporate membership.
  • If a company is a subsidiary or owned by another company/organization, the subsidiary company will qualify as a new corporate member if its branding/logo is distinctive/separate from its parent company. 
  • WiM corporate member benefits and dues rates can be found here: https://www.womeninmanufacturing.org/membership/corporate-membership
  • Once a potential corporate member is identified, a chapter leader should complete the Corporate Member Lead form: https://womeninmfg.wufoo.com/forms/corporate-member-lead-form-for-wim-chapters-2025/
  • Once the lead form is received, a member of the WiM National team will follow-up with the chapter leader who submitted the form to confirm next steps.
  • Once confirmed with the chapter, WiM National will reach out to the lead contact to begin or continue the membership sales process.
  • When a company joins as a corporate member, WiM National will notify the chapter leader who submitted the lead if/when applicable for tracking purposes.
  • To qualify for incentive credit, the following must be true:

    • A chapter leader must complete the lead form before the company signs up for WiM corporate membership.
      • Companies that signed up for WiM corporate membership before April 1, 2025 will not count towards this program.
    • The new corporate member must result from the chapter's lead/lead contact directly.
    • The corporate membership dues must be paid before the lead can qualify towards this program.

    • Chapters will receive incentive credit for new corporate member companies AND for renewals of expired corporate member companies (if the lead results in a renewal from a new contact).
