Frequently Asked Questions.

I’m interested in learning about MOTHERboard Society and Membership - what now?

We are here for you, mama, now and throughout the entire membership experience!

To learn more,  RSVP for Member Info Session which runs monthly. This 60 min interactive session takes you through the entire membership experience, demo of our Inner Circle virtual platform, member benefits, and Q&A. Shhh…don’t tell, but we have some secret promo codes and exciting opportunities offered exclusively to guests at the event! 

Want to sign up immediately? Check us out and get started or contact memberservices@MOTHERboard Society.com

There are a lot of other options out there -- In fact, I have 5 other courses sitting on my computer, waiting for me. What makes MOTHERboard Society different?

First, MOTHERbaord Society is NOT “another course” or even “another membership group.” It’s so much more… and LESS. Yes, less. We know you’re already overwhelmed with ideas, content, courses, and information. That’s why we will help you start with the end in mind and figure out what you need to do TOMORROW to get you where you want to be in your career and your life. Then we give you the specific skills to get there… and make sure you get it. You’re never left alone to figure it out on your own. Focus. Accountability. Guidance. Support. And a whole bunch of laughter to go along with it.

Why do you limit enrollment periods?

We are absolutely dedicated to making sure each and every one of our members receive the royal treatment when she joins. We limit enrollment to a few times a year so we can create an experience where new members are warmly received, supported, and guided to all that MBS has to offer. By holding dedicated enrollment periods, we can dedicate time and resources to welcoming each new “class” of members.

What type of events do you host?

There is no shortage of events for working moms at MOTHERboard Society and we’ve got something for everyone! 

  • MBS Virtual Community Events: Member orientation, local virtual & in person meetups and lots of connection. 

  • Networking Events: Meet members within your local chapter as you build your network and gain new friends!

  • How-To Events: Get educated on all the hot topics, build your Tools & Resources without paying the big bucks in our How-To event series. 

  • BizStorm Events: CEO’s of similar stages, connect and brainstorm to support each other through challenges. 

  • Coworking Events: Meet entrepreneurs and corporate moms virtually, as access to a chic coworking space and join our networking lunch. 

  • Signature Events: Momsgiving, Mother’sDay Event, and the newly MBS Summit are three of our headliner yearly events attracting women nation-wide!

We get that time is scarce & schedules are hectic, because we are all busy mamas! Most virtual events can be accessed on-demand to watch at your convenience. Take a peek & RSVP for this month's events here. 

Who can I expect to meet in the community?

We don’t just believe that our differences are precisely what makes the MOTHERboard Society community such an inclusive, dynamic, powerful place to be — we know it firmly and see it in action every day. We’ve come together based on the things we have in common — motherhood and being a working mom — but the benefit we get from being here is a direct result of the diversity of experiences, perspectives, and identities within the community.

Our membership is composed of mamas from diverse religions, races, ethnicities, citizenships, ages, parenting stages, family makeups, gender orientations & social preferences. 

Making MOTHERboard Society a welcoming, valuable space for this diversity is our highest priority.

What are the member dues applied to?

Like with most memberships, there is a fee accessed, which guarantees members access to The Club and its benefits. Payment of dues ensures that members will remain active. Club benefits include access to exclusive events, discounts, and networks. Fees also go toward organizational processes, technology, development, and maintenance. Special guests, initiatives, etc. are also covered with member fees. When you sign up for membership, you are agreeing to this arrangement.

How will MOTHERboard Society promote my company/Features?

What if my city is not listed?

If your city is not listed on the dropdown menu during open enrollment, it either means that Chapter is no longer accepting new members, or a Chapter does not exist at this time. A Chapter may not be accepting new members for several reasons, including but not limited to Chapter capacity, leadership transitions, or special circumstances. Before every open enrollment, we will release a list of Chapters set to open for new members.

How do I become a Leader in my city?

If you are interested in taking on the role of Chapter President or Vice President, please send an email tt info@motherbaordsociety.com with your resume expressing interest. If we are interested in moving forward, you will be contacted by a member of our team.

Can I join a Chapter in a different state/city if my city isn’t available during enrollment?

Under NO circumstances, should you sign up for another Chapter in an attempt to be switched to a closed Chapter or a Chapter that is not listed. If this happens, unfortunately, we will have to cancel your membership. However, if your Chapter is full, you may be prompted to select the Chapter closest to you (this will be based on availability and a number of other factors).

Can I sign up for two Chapters?

No, please only select one Chapter when you sign up.

How do I start a Chapter?

All prospective new Chapters/cities are selected by the MBSteam based on a number of socio-economic factors. At this time, we are not taking “New Chapter Requests.”

If I travel a lot from city to city, do I have to join two Chapters in those specific cities?

Depending on the Membership tier you select, you will be able to participate in the activities of Chapters in other cities. You will need to select the “Socialite” tier if this is something you’re interested in.

If I am a member, and decide to move, can I switch Chapters?

Yes. Once a member, always a member, no matter where you are. Transfer requests can be put in at any time, but will only take effect quarterly. Exceptions will be made for unique/extreme circumstances. You will need to fill out the transfer form to update your records. Contact memberservices@motherboardsociety.com for this form.

Is there an age minimum/maximum?

The MBS age minimum is 21 years old. However, we do not have an age maximum. We believe that as long as interested parties share our mission, goals and come with an open heart and mind, then they belong here atMBS

Is there a waitlist?

There is no waitlist at this time. You must join during periods of open enrollment. If you are unable to join during that time, there is no list you can be added to. However, we look forward to having you join us during the next period of new membership.
