Special offer honors the legacy of the 1988 Women’s Business Ownership Act and supports local business growth

Continuing the celebration of Women in Business Month, 1Berkshire is offering $88 off a new Enhanced Membership for women-owned or women-led businesses that join by October 31, 2026.  Thanks to the generous support of our Women in Business Month sponsor, Independent Connections, this special offer recognizes the achievements, leadership, and impact of women entrepreneurs and business owners in our region.

The $88 discount commemorates 1988, the year President Ronald Reagan signed H.R. 5050, the Women’s Business Ownership Act. The legislation expanded federal support for women-owned businesses and helped address barriers to business ownership by improving access to capital, training, and business assistance.

Through this special promotion, 1Berkshire encourages entrepreneurs and business professionals to explore membership, build meaningful connections, and access opportunities that can help their businesses grow.

Prospective members can redeem the $88 discount by completing the membership enrollment form and entering promotional code WOMEN88.

This special offer is available for women-owned and women-led businesses only who apply for a new Enhanced Membership with 1Berkshire before October 31, 2026.
