______________________________________________________________________________________
Do I have to be a member to attend a PFW event?
Not usually! We understand that most women want to come out and check things out before committing to a membership, so for the most part you’re welcome to join us (and bring a friend while you’re at it!). For some events, we give our members a discount, but everyone is welcome!
Where do the PFW events take place?
The majority of our events are held within the Toronto boundaries. In addition, we also offer tele-seminars and other virtual events. You can view past and upcoming events on our Calendar or our Meetup Group!
I am a new member, what should I expect at my first PFW event?
We know that for many women, coming out to your first event is nerve-wracking and stressful. All we can say is that PFW members are some of the most friendly, open and positive women around. We love to welcome new members and we do our very best to put everyone at ease, so don’t fret! At many of our events, we have PFW Ambassadors whose role is to greet and welcome new members, so you’re in good hands. We look forward to meeting you soon!
I don’t own my own business; can I still join this group?
Absolutely! While the majority of our members are entrepreneurs, we have many who are not. Our events cover a broad range of topics such as personal growth, spirituality, health & well-being and we also run inspirational movie screenings and ongoing social events. The only thing that is mandatory is a positive attitude and a smile!
How do I get my business listed in the PFW Fab Biz Directory?
A listing of your business is included with either a Business Membership or a Fabulous Business Membership. Please take a moment to explore our levels and see how we can support your business best.
I would love to speak to this group, where do I start?
We are always looking for great speakers to lead a seminar or workshop on topics that would be of interest to our members. Please keep in mind that we have a busy calendar and the process may take some time to complete. If you’d like to submit a proposal, please submit the Speakers’ Contact Form and we’ll get back to you!
I own a venue and would like to discuss hosting some of your events with us, who do I talk to?
We are always looking for great venues within the GTA that are TTC accessible and offer a private space for our functions. We have different types of events with different needs, so please CONTACT US at and we’ll review the requirements.
I have a product and/or business opportunity that I’d like to share with the group, can you help me spread the word?
We have a number of members who are involved with various network marketing companies and have some great products or business opportunities that they’d like to share with our group. While our goal is to support our members, we have a very strict rule against endorsing or aligning ourselves with any third-party organizations or businesses (other than our Business Members). We provide a platform and a space through which the members can network and promote products and services with each other, but we stay neutral and not get involved with any of these promotions.
I am organizing an event that I’d like to promote to your members, can you post it on your calendar?
As you can imagine, we get many requests to promote various events around the city, many of which support some great worthy causes. As a rule, we only promote events that are those of our registered Business Members, who have also purchased the Promote-it Add-on. This allows us to keep the focus of our promotion on our own events, but supporting those who want to take an active role within our group.
Can I get a refund for a pre-paid event?
We’re glad you asked! Here’s the PFW Refund Policy:
- PFW will issue a 100% refund ONLY when the event is canceled
- PFW will not provide any refunds due to sickness or any other change in schedule/circumstance of participants
- Cancellation requests made 48 hours prior to the date of the event will be eligible for a 50% refund which can be transferred towards a future PFW event within a 60-day time period
- If the event is rescheduled or re-located, a 50% refund will be reimbursed for those who are unable to attend the “new” scheduled event date/location OR 100% credit towards a future event taking place within a 60-day time period
- Any cancellations made within the 48-hour window as well as no-shows will NOT be eligible for a refund or credit. Think of it like the theater – if you book tickets and then get sick and can’t go, they don’t try to accommodate you for another show and unfortunately, neither can we. Substitutions are always welcome!
Please note that if you are unsure of your attendance to an event, you usually have the option of paying by cash at the door at a slight increased cost.
