Our board members are dedicated to the growth and success of our non-profit women’s business networking group. The board meets once a month. Each board member, with the help of a team, also dedicates approximately ten hours a month to meeting the goals and objectives of her chair. If you have any interest in joining the board or serving on one of the committees, please contact the Board Development Chair at boarddevelopment@connectw.org or any of our other board members.
Rebecca Schaffer, Treasurer
Becky Schaffer is excited to use her rich background in accounting and finance to take on the role of Treasurer at Connect W. With a 10 year history spanning the country, Becky has worked with companies large and small to help them get their finances in order, and start looking towards the future.
Becky only recently joined Connect W, but felt easily embraced and welcomed by the women in the group. She loves feeling like she is developing relationships which will help her grow in her career and business, but also in life and friendship. These early positive experiences made it an easy decision to join the amazing women on the board. She plans to use her time as treasurer to bring financial clarity and understanding to the organization and to help use money from dues and events to provide meaningful and educational experiences for all the women in the organization.
