Women's Networking Groups: Find Your Community with FemCity

 

If you've ever typed "women's networking groups near me" into a search bar — or wondered whether there's a professional community that actually gets what it's like to be a woman building a business — you've landed in the right place.

FemCity is one of the most active women's business organizations in North America, and our membership orientation replay gives you a front-row seat to everything we're about. In the video above, FemCity Founder Violette de Ayala walks you through our community, our membership tiers, and what it feels like to belong here.

"FemCity was built for the woman who is ready to grow — not just her business, but herself." — Violette de Ayala, Founder of FemCity

What Is FemCity?

FemCity is a global women's professional membership community with more than 35 local chapters across the United States and Canada. We were founded on one simple belief: that women in business thrive when they have genuine community — not just a card-swap event or a social media group, but a real, ongoing network of women who show up for each other.

Whether you're a solo entrepreneur, a small business owner, a freelancer, or a corporate professional navigating your next move, FemCity is designed to meet you where you are. Our members span industries — from wellness and real estate to tech, finance, creative services, and beyond.

Why Women Are Searching for Networking Communities Right Now

The demand for women's networking groups has grown dramatically in recent years — and it makes sense. More women are launching businesses, leaving corporate careers to bet on themselves, and seeking communities that reflect their values and lived experience.

But not all women's organizations are created equal. Many women tell us they've tried:

  • Large professional associations that feel impersonal or transactional

  • Local meetups that start strong but fade without structure

  • Online groups that get loud with promotion and quiet on real support

  • Business organizations that weren't built with women's experience in mind

FemCity was designed to be different. Our community is intentionally structured, consistently led, and genuinely warm. Members don't just exchange business cards — they build relationships that carry them forward.

What You'll Learn in the Membership Orientation

In the replay above, Violette covers each of our three membership tiers in detail so you can choose the option that fits your life and goals right now.

Online Membership For the woman who wants community without geographic limits. Our online membership gives you access to FemCity's digital resources, virtual programming, member directory, and the energy of a global network — from anywhere in the world. It's ideal for women who travel often, live outside a chapter city, or simply prefer to connect on their own schedule.

Trial & Local Membership Want to experience FemCity in person before fully committing? Our trial option gives you the chance to visit a local chapter, meet members, and feel the culture firsthand. Local membership connects you to the women building businesses in your own city — the kind of relationships that turn into referrals, collaborations, and friendships.

Global Membership Our most expansive option, built for the woman who wants it all. Global members have access to every FemCity chapter, every event, and the full breadth of what our community offers. If you're serious about growth and connection, this is the membership designed for you.

"It's not just networking. It's a business community where women actually want each other to win."
