Membership
Becoming a Member
Current members may sponsor someone for membership by filling out a brief form and submitting it with the potential member’s resume or bio to the chair of the Recruitment Committee. Candidates accepted by the Recruitment Committee must then be approved by the Board of Directors.
New member receptions are held several times each year, to introduce new members to the Board and to other new members. At these receptions, Professional Dimensions’ history and committees are described and new members are encouraged to get involved. Participation in one of the committees is the best way to meet other members and benefit from the organization.
Qualifications
Membership is by invitation and focuses on "women who inspire” through their personal and professional experience and talents. Potential members must be engaged in professional work, whether or not for compensation, and must demonstrate an interest in professional growth. Community involvement is looked upon favorably.
The Recruitment Committee strives to strengthen the diversity and leadership of the organization and to maintain a broad spectrum of occupations. Target populations include non-traditional or under-represented occupations, executive women in a company or organization, women of color, younger women with leadership promise, and other community leaders.
