Member Benefits Package

EM Ottawa currently offers an Annual Basic Membership. We are continuing to augment our basic EM Ottawa Member Benefits Package. During 2010 you will see more benefits added to this package. EM Ottawa aims to fully support Entrepreneurial Moms and provide immediate access to the best services and products in our local and global communities.

EMI Members Interactive Online Portal

After much hard work by dedicated EMI Members globally we are thrilled to be sending invitations to EMI Members to join us in a private online portal for Entrepreneurial Moms Members. There you can create your online profile, choose friends from any EMI chapter, and initiate dialog with talented women across our rapidly growing network! Look for this invitation to join us there as an included Member benefit very shortly!

EMI Home Site Online Profiles & Member Billboard

Along with your invitation to join us on the new interactive Member portal, we'll also send you a link to notify us of any amendments that should be made to your existing public profile on our EM Ottawa home page. We will maintain our online EM public profiles to optimize exposure for your business. At this time you may also submit items for the Member Billboard, a promotional vehicle for your business needs, events, and incentives.

EM Ottawa Leadership Opportunities

Are you a natural leader? Would the opportunity to get in on the ground level of something great interest you or benefit your professional skill set? EM Ottawa is in an exciting transition and seeks smart, savvy Entrepreneurial Moms with an innate enthusiasm for connecting and encouraging success amongst their peers. Chapter leaders receive the first opportunities to be included as providers on our Member Benefits Package, first dibs on special perks afforded to us by our partners and affiliates, and magnified recognition and promotion of their business in their high-profile roles in our chapter. If leadership interests you please contact us. In particular we are in need of someone with skills to run the newsletter, marketing, and membership. If you are a natural leader with an exceptional interest in helping other Entrepreneurial Moms realize their dreams alongside your own, please contact us to indicate your interest in chapter leadership.

Group Power!: Trade Shows and Other Promotional Opportunities
Periodically EM Ottawa will participate in trade shows and other promotional opportunities in which we showcase our Members. An example of such a showcase of Member comes from EM Calgary. In May 2009 EM Calgary invited all of its Members to showcase their products or services at the Entrepreneurial Moms International booth at The Mompreneur Marketplace Trade Show. Nine EM Member companies were physically present to dispay their products, while another 20+ Member companies were represented at our table in our Member portfolio, in their own Member company brochures, and/ or in the brochures and products that we handed to visitors to our booth. All types of presence at our EM booth was complimentary and included as a benefit of Membership.

Becoming an EM Member means becoming a part of a larger organization with your company's best interest in mind. We seek out opportunities to continue to maximize your Member dollars, and to promote your company using the leverge that our group affords.
