Mission
Statement
The purpose of each Professional Network Group is to
establish a structured meeting time and place for a
select group of qualified business “professionals”
who wish to cooperate for the sole purpose of helping
each other succeed in business through the exchange
of business referrals, marketplace information, and
leadership training. Membership limited to 30 people.
Qualifications and Admittance
Members must demonstrate a high standard of quality,
ethics, professionalism and reliability, both personally,
and with regard to their products and/or services. Criteria
for the selection of new members will be at the discretion
of the group by way of a silent vote.
To be admitted a prospective new member
must receive no more than one dissenting vote from the
existing members. Only one representative per each business
classification will be admitted to the group at any
given time.
Attendance
Commitment and reliability are key ingredients of a
professional and are required of all group members.
The group secretary will take attendance at each meeting.
If a member misses more than 3 meetings over a six month
period, it will be presumed that he/she no longer wishes
to be a participating member. In such case, his/her
name will be removed from the roster and the business
category will be announced as available for a new member.
Any pre-paid dues will be forfeited.
