Benefits of belonging to the Newswomen's Club:
Networking with the Best in the Business
No Agenda Tuesdays (the 3rd Tuesday of each month) that give us an opportunity to catch up, network, laugh, and hear from interesting people. Events that bring us together with professionals from literary agents and authors to headhunters. The opportunity to build our skills by working with fellow members on programs, courses and events.
The Club Office
A place to catch up with fellow members to network. A place to rest, relax, write. A place to work on projects and programs for the club with fellow members.
The Front Page Awards
One of the most prestigious journalism awards in the United States, giving us an opportunity to compete with colleagues from all media and to organize and run this competition. It's also a fabulous dinner at which to network, and to celebrate Front Page Awards winners and the work we love
The National Arts Club
The Newswomen's Club pays for a "club" membership to the National Arts Club at 15 Gramercy Park South, Manhattan, where The Newswomen's Club of New York has its office on the second floor. This membership entitles members of The Newswomen's Club to:

Attendance at events, free and ticketed, held by The National Arts Club (pick up the monthly calendar of events at the front desk)
Use of Gramercy Park -- just stop by the front desk of The National Arts Club and ask for the key to the park, which you return after your visit.
Regular Notices
We regularly send notices to our members about jobs, interesting events, competitions and other information that matters to them.
The Newswomen's Club of New York offers membership to professional newswomen in all media, from text to photography to news websites.
