Thank you for your interest in joining us.

We love to welcome new members, and at the same time, take membership seriously. In order to be an active member of The Proof Collective, you agree to: 

  • Live in the Bay Area. We love to support women in food everywhere, but our group thrives off of in person connection and is limited to full-time residents of the 9 Bay Area counties. 

  • Attend 4 Proof Collective events per year. Events happen monthly, and are ticketed. On average, ticket prices are $20 and scholarships are available. 

  • Commit to host, co-host, or support one event annually. This can be hosting an event in your home, helping to cook for an event, moderating a panel, being a speaker, etc. There are many ways to host and support events with Proof!

  • Agree to our strict RSVP and event cancellation policies. You must RSVP and purchase tickets in advance for events. If you cannot attend the event, you must cancel at least 48 hours in advance to get a refund. If you "no-show" to two events within the year, you are no longer considered an active member of The Proof Collective.

We ask a lot of our committed, active Proof Members, and in exchange, you get a lot!

The benefits of being an Active Member of Proof include:

  • Access to our awesome, supportive group of movin' and shakin' females in food - an entrusted, empowered female community of food industry professionals, who connect openly and honestly about the challenges, successes, and everything-in-between of running food businesses. 

  • Being listed on our member directory - so you can add it to your long list of accomplishments!

  • Joining our Slack Channel - so you can stay up to date with all things food related, and have an easy platform for connecting with fellow members. 

  • Invites to all of our events, all year long - from lectures, to round tables, to cocktail hours - you'll be the first on the list.

YES - I have read the above and am ready to join.
