Their goal is “small chapters, big results.” WNA caps each chapter at about 20 members and allows only one person per industry, no internal competition, just collaboration. A steady cadence. Meetings happen every three weeks, giving members time to implement ideas and still stay top-of-mind. Guests can attend up to two meetings free before deciding to join.
Born in WNA’s headquarters city, the Almaden Valley chapter reflects the group’s DNA:
Here is the story… Picture walking into Legends Pizza Co, grabbing a bite, and meeting women who listen first and share openly. You trade intros, not just titles, but stories. You learn who’s looking for what, you jot a name to connect them with, and you start imagining how your work could overlap. The agenda is focused, yet leaves room for those organic conversations that spark partnerships.
WNA members are:

📅 RSVP for the San Jose (Almaden Valley) Meetup and meet leaders like Krystal Fitzpatrick who believe in showing up, sharing generously, and succeeding together.
Krystal Fitzpatrick, known as the “Manufacturing Matchmaker” for connecting the right people and solutions, thrives in rooms designed for purposeful, trust-first networking, which is exactly what WNA delivers.
She’s drawn to the small, single-seat chapters because they foster real collaboration instead of competition, making it easier to understand each member’s strengths and trade high-quality referrals.
She’s also looking forward to the Almaden Valley meetup’s format: structured yet relaxed, with enough space for genuine conversations that lead to tangible next steps. As someone who values measurable outcomes, she appreciates WNA’s every-three-weeks cadence; it gives founders time to implement ideas and circle back with progress, which deepens relationships and accelerates results over time.
Krystal’s work revolves around helping businesses solve complex challenges by matching them with the right partners, so she’s excited to meet founders across diverse industries and learn specific needs she can champion beyond the room.
Expect her to bring a clear ask, a few warm introductions, and an open invitation to collaborate, especially around manufacturing connections and practical pathways to growth.
In short, this event aligns perfectly with Krystal’s approach: show up, listen closely, add value quickly, and build lasting relationships. That’s why she’s eager to be there, and why she believes others will find it worth their calendar, too.
