I Am Not A Member. Can I Attend A Meeting?
In mature chapters, candidates must qualify, are by invitation only, and must be sponsored by existing members. A prospective candidate may attend a complimentary meeting as a guest and fully participate. If the candidate has an interest in joining, after being accepted by the chair, the members vote on approval of the member based on the prospective member's contribution and commitment to the chapter.
Once the group is complete, the group is closed with no new members or visitors except to account for attrition. Chapters may continue to meet for years without any membership change. This gives continuity, stability and confidence.

Each member signs a confidentiality agreement and is expected to maintain the highest degree of confidentiality, a hallmark of the chapters.
Members have access to a monthly personal, private consultation with the consultant which focuses exclusively on their individual business. In addition, members enjoy discounted rates and preferential treatment by affiliate consulting firms.
