Chapter President
Staten Island Chapter · RSRWBA
Staten Island needs
a woman ready
to lead it.
“The right woman for this role is already in this community — she’s connected, driven, and ready to make Staten Island a chapter that the entire RSRWBA network looks to as a model.”
The Staten Island Chapter is actively seeking its founding Chapter President. This is a rare opportunity to put your name on something that matters — to build a leadership legacy in your own borough, backed by 23 years of national infrastructure, a dedicated existing leadership team, and a community of women already showing up every month.
The chapter has active members, monthly meetings, and real momentum. It needs a President who is ready to take it to the next level.
- Why Staten Island Needs This
Staten Island women are already rising.
Staten Island has one of the fastest-growing small business communities in New York City — and women entrepreneurs are leading the charge. The RSRWBA Staten Island Chapter exists to ensure those women have the structure, support, and sisterhood they need to build businesses that last.
Whether you're launching your first venture in the South Shore, growing a service business in Port Richmond, or expanding your reach across the five boroughs — this chapter meets you where you are.
Monthly Local Meetings
In-person monthly gatherings built for real conversation, structured learning, and genuine connection among SI women entrepreneurs.
National Resources, Local Access
Members tap into RSR's full national network — grant databases, media opportunities, business tools — while staying rooted in a local community they know.
Business Support Services
Incorporate your business, access funding, get coaching, and publish your book — with RSRWBA service referrals available to every member.
A Path to Leadership
RSRWBA's Foundation → Visibility → Leadership progression gives SI members a clear road from launching to being recognized as an authority in their field.
