Member Benefits

All interested business professionals are welcome to attend a networking meeting, and then decide if they would like to apply for membership.

Upon joining, members will be part of a global community of talented professionals and resources, working collaboratively to refer and close business.

Benefits include: Access to networking meetings held every other Tuesday, from 4 pm to 5:30 pm EST via zoom, invitations to Mastermind meetings, invitations to curated events to support business growth, opportunities to volunteer and give back to support our communities, non-profit and charities through philanthropic initiatives, and continuing education, business, and career resources.

Application Process

The first visit is complimentary. Any person interested in joining must announce their intent to join the group as a certain profession or business. Applicants complete and submit an online application for approval, along with the membership fee. Applicants are invited to have 2-3 peer interviews.

In the event there are members belonging to the same or similar profession, we will have mutual conversations to agree and avoid any potential referral conflicts.

Members should represent their primary profession or business as stated in their application.

Members should arrive on time and stay for the entire meeting. This includes being active and participating in zoom calls. Attendance and participation is crucial to the group.
