Who can join NAWEM as a member?

NAWEM welcomes women entrepreneurs across Malaysia who own and run their businesses. You can become an Ordinary or Life Member if you're a major shareholder in a company (minimum two years old) who makes policy decisions and manages daily operations, or a Chief Executive Officer actively running the business for at least two years. If you're a sole proprietor or an employee, you can join as a Friend of NAWEM (FON). Non-Malaysians are welcome to apply as FON members.

What are the membership fees?

NAWEM offers three membership tiers. Ordinary membership requires a one-time registration fee of RM100 plus an annual fee of RM200. Life membership requires RM100 registration plus a one-time payment of RM2,000 with no annual fees thereafter. Friends of NAWEM (FON) membership costs RM100 registration plus RM100 annually. Ordinary members who've been with us for three years can upgrade to Life membership.

What benefits do I receive as a NAWEM member?

You'll connect with dynamic, influential women entrepreneurs across diverse industries and backgrounds. We provide access to local and international events, training programmes, workshops, and business-related activities. Members engage with industrial leaders, ministry heads, and government agencies, participate in overseas business delegations, advertise to fellow members, and promote their businesses through the NAWEM minisites page. You'll contribute to building women's leadership while growing your own enterprise.

How do I apply for NAWEM membership?

Apply online through our membership application system by clicking the “Grow with Us!” button. You'll need to submit your business card (front and back), identification card (both sides), one passport-sized photograph, and relevant business documents. After document verification and Executive Committee approval, you'll receive your invoice and instructions to pay online. Once payment is completed, your membership is confirmed, and you can access our Members Portal.

What's the difference between FON and Ordinary membership?

Friends of NAWEM (FON) enjoy all NAWEM services and can participate fully in activities, events, and networking opportunities. However, FON members cannot vote in association matters or stand for office positions. Ordinary members have full voting rights and can serve in leadership roles. FON membership suits sole proprietors or employees in management positions, while Ordinary membership is for business owners meeting specific shareholding and management criteria.
