The Open Door Program
Women should stand for and support other women in need.
The business arena combines many challenges and difficult times. In these times, we will embrace you and be there for you.
Our management board, consultants, and fellow members will support you in any way possible to overcome hard periods. Our events and seminars are charged only with a single reduced fee for each event, in order to cover some of the administrative and advertising costs of the association BUT, in case you would like to participate and cannot afford to pay this fee you can participate free of charge!
No women will be left out for financial reasons, as we are big believers in the quote “what goes around, comes around” and believe that at a later stage you will flourish with us.
We trust your trustfulness and good judgment in using this generous option.
All is done under complete confidentiality and will be supported directly by Mrs. Osnat Peled - President of Business Women Forum Romania.
In case you need an "Open Door", contact her directly by e-mail.
BWFR 4 Elements & Visions
Networking
As we believe that networking and getting to know more businesswomen will support your business needs, we decided to change the regular networking perspective and perfected it into a networking art! BWFR supports the members to increase their business through a positive, structured, and professional referral networking program.
Know-How & inspiration
BWFR provides widespread access to know-how via seminars, conferences, circle meetings, workshops, 1:1 meetings with the BWFR consultant members, and more...BWFR covers all the topics that are relevant to women in business: access to financing, marketing, PR, sales, management, legal aspects, tax & insurance, negotiation skills, and also life skills related to family life and its business correlation, managing stress and a healthy lifestyle.
Access to financing - The Money Academy
Access to financing is one of the essential foundations for a successful business. We have acknowledged that in many cases a lack of know-how in the field of finances, along with the challenges of the actual access to financiers, is preventing businesses in achieving their goal.
BWFR's main goals are providing this know-how and supporting you in finding better access to financing, along with the financial skills & understanding every businesswoman must-have.
