Membership

It's a widely accepted principle that people do business with people whom they know and like. We provide a structured environment for small business owners and professionals to get to know others in their community. Membership is open to anyone* who lives, works, or is growing a clientele in the chapter area.

Founded in 2001 by combining a variety of real-world experiences in facilitating and attending networking meetings, chapter leader Shaune Haas continues to guide under these same ideals:

• It is truly affordable! No high initiation fees. No recurring monthly dues.
• You will never be put on the spot to produce a referral. By fostering relationships, the referrals will happen naturally.
• There are no stringent attendance requirements.
• There are no industry limitations.* We believe everyone has something unique to offer and we want to make sure you come into contact with a wide array of people.
• Each event is kept to only 40 participants so that you move beyond the impersonal "meet and greet" and really get a chance to make connections. It is a less intimidating environment than a larger group experience or conference.
• The atmosphere of the meetings is fun, light, and friendly!

*The chapter leader may decide to restrict attendance by anyone in their own industry.

The Benefits of Joining

Attending once or twice is fine because chances are you will make great contacts, but networking is a long-term marketing effort. You will realize the full benefits only after you have developed relationships, which takes time and effort.

The annual administrative fee of $35 includes online directory listing, membership plaque, embossed business card portfolio, and name badge.

In addition to the monthly breakfast meeting, you will have the opportunity to participate in

• Business Development Training - Quarterly training seminars on topics important to self-employed professionals
• After-Hours Networking - Quarterly networking events offered in the early evening
• Group Outings - Occasional group outing to fun events
• Website with searchable directory and member profiles
• Co-op advertising opportunities on website and in community publications
