Our Mission: To provide an environment for members to
network with other key community leaders. Focus on
results for the members through collaborative referrals. Overview
One business is allowed per profession, with the option
to have ano
ther person from the same business to become an
associate member. Members are given 60 seconds each week to present and
market their business. One member per week is highlighted and given time for a
10-15 minute in-depth presentation on their business. Every other time a member is highlighted, a “Board of
Directors” meeting will be conducted. The group will provide
feedback to presenter with ideas to help the member grow
their business. Each week the group will be given an education moment by
a member, with a brief marketing tip to implement into their
own business. There is a weekly attendance raffle, that gives each member
present at the meeting, a chance to win cash. Annual awards to be given, awarding members for the most
closed business, most referrals given, and most new members
recruited. Attendance
It is very important for each member to make a commitment
to their weekly schedule to be at all meetings. The group has
policies in place for absences, and are as follows:
Attendance is tracked on rolling 6 month basis. You will receive your 1st warning at your 4th absence in the
rolling 6 months. You will receive your 2nd warning at your 5th absence in the
rolling 6 months. You will be removed from the roster and must re-apply to
join after your 6th absence in the rolling 6 month period. As a
member you forfeit your dues already paid, but may
re-apply and pay a prorated fee to be reinstated to the group. Absence is not counted if there is a substitute present in
members place. The substitute can be any person whom wants
to fill your place for the day. They are at the meeting to speak
on your behalf and represent you. If you bring a visitor to a meeting, you can erase one
absence in the rolling 6 months. No more than one absence in
a rolling 6 months can be erased.
