What’s All the Buzz about this BOND Card?

You remember that survey you completed a few weeks back? You won’t believe that the second most requested question was about? Take a wild guess. OK it was about our BOND CARD?  I know you keep hearing about this BOND Card and Partners, right. But who is it for and what is it really all about?

What’s all the buzz about the BOND Card?
For several months our board has been working diligently in offering BOND members with worthwhile and exclusive incentives. We’ve figured that we wanted membership assessments to really count for something. What better way than with discounts on products and services women patronize most.  

How it Works

As a member all you have to do is let them know that you are a BOND Member, show our select partners with your handy BOND Card and/or provide them with your member number.  It’s that simple.  

Wanna know who our partners are?

We are excited with the growing number of women owned partnerships that have agreed to offer our card holding members with select discounts. Check out our growing list of partners here. Our partners are eager to meet you.

Are you a business owner but don’t see your name on the list?

We want to see your name listed too. The neat thing about this partnership is as the business owner you are in the driver seat. You get to pick the terms. You get to determine how much of incentive you’d like to offer. We’re not picky we’re just grateful that you decided to partner with us. It’s a win-win for us all you-you as the business owner, us as an organization and especially for BOND’s members.

The application process is rather quick and simple. As a BOND Partner your business name and web address will appear in our quarterly newsletter at no cost to you!

February Meet & Greet- Grab Your Seat

For the past few weeks we've dropped hints about our annual Meet & Greet. Now that we've solidified a date and location, let the excitement begin! There's much to celebrate. For starters, how about celebrating 10 years of committed service, or our newest re-launch? What about many of our new initiatives? There's so much more.   We're expecting to see a lot of new and familiar faces to join us on that evening. We've reached out to our charter members who were there in the early days of BOND and helped push us to where we are now, beloved board members, our new members, and those interested in joining the BOND Sisterhood. You'll be able to mix and mingle with some of our BOND Business partners, past guest speakers, Spotlight Features, and you, our greatest supporters. Learn more about who we are, what we're about, ask us some of your burning questions and be apart of the celebration. We're expecting a grand time and want you to be there with us. 

RSVP HERE

RSVP so that your name appears on the guest list. You'll be kept abreast to all the details leading up to the day. The event is FREE of charge but we're asking that you RSVP in advance to ensure we have enough materials, food and swag bags for our guest.

See you there!
