One frequent remark the Oahu Wedding Association Board of Directors often gets is
The first step is to attend a monthly party that we throw, so you can get a feel of what this association stands for and to see if it fits into your own values and business plan. At the very least, you get to network with an outstanding group of wedding professionals. Click here for the list of upcoming meeting dates and locations.
If you liked the party, and if the association fits your values and ideals, the next step is to find two Oahu Wedding Association members to be your sponsors. These members must be in good standing with the association and either have been a member of the association for one year or have a very solid reputation among their peers. The person who invited you to your first party is often a good sponsor. And if you've been a wedding professional in Hawaii for a while, you probably know many others who are current members in the association and would be willing to include you in the association. Simply ask! Our members are friendly and helpful.
The next step is to download the Bi-Laws, read through them, and make sure you understand them. If you have questions, feel free to email your questions to the OWA Board, who will be happy to help you.
Next, download the membership application, fill it in, and mail it in either electronically or by postal mail.
The last step is the membership dues: you can either mail your check in with your membership application, or handle it by credit card via PayPal.
Once your application & dues are in, they are reviewed by the board for accuracy and merit. Your sponsors are contacted to verify your professionalism. If everything checks out, congratulations! Welcome aboard. You will receive the official welcome email from the current OWA President, get your membership packet a few days later, and you'll officially be a member of Oahu's premiere group of wedding professionals!
