Frequently Asked Questions
We know you have a few questions...
What if I can't make the next meeting?
We hope that by meeting just once per month, everyone will be able to reserve the time on their calendar. Of course vacations, business meetings and family responsibilities may occasionally cause a conflict. If you are unable to attend a meeting, you can let our meeting leader know ahead of time. Excused absences are allowed, but if you miss two meetings without giving notice, we may need to ask someone else to fill your spot within the group.
Do I have to pay to join the group?
We charge a small annual membership fee. This covers the administrative costs of running the group, conference room rental, and so on. Were you to join one of the groups meeting weekly for meals, you'd spend more on food!
You may attend your first meeting at no cost, giving you a chance to evaluate whether you want to join. After that meeting, you will be asked to pay the annual dues to reserve your spot in the group.
Can I invite friends to attend meetings?
Yes, but you'll need to check with our group moderator first, to be sure there are no overlaps in business area, as we maintain an exclusivity arrangement to ensure no conflicts within the group.
