A standing group of our most loyal community members, built to co-own BYFY's ideas and its future — not just attend them.
As BYFY has grown, one thing became clear: the women who show up most consistently should have a real hand in shaping what comes next. The Founders Council gives our most engaged members ownership over event ideation and execution — while Franchesca retains final approval on budget and brand, keeping BYFY's voice consistent as it scales.
It's governance built for a community, not a corporation — clear enough to avoid confusion, flexible enough to grow with us.
The clearest part of the Founders Council Charter — and the most important.
Event concepts, themes, vendor outreach, day-of logistics, and the creative energy behind what BYFY does next.
Final sign-off on spend and brand consistency — so BYFY stays true to its mission as more voices join the table.
Direct input on the events, partnerships, and direction of BYFY.
You'll know what's coming before anyone else — including new collabs and initiatives.
Council terms include soft annual check-ins, so membership can evolve without awkwardness on either side.
