Can I just come check out the group as a guest?
Membership is by invitation only. If you are interested in checking out the group, simply contact the president of The B2B Forum to express your interest and discuss your attending the next meeting.

What does “category exclusive” mean?
“Category exclusive” means that each member holds one primary business category in the group and no other member can hold that category. For example, if the group currently has a corporate attorney as a member, no other corporate attorney can become a member while that category is filled.

To put it concisely, members should:

• Attend meetings (not missing more than 2 meetings per quarter)
• Pay membership dues before or at the beginning of each quarter
• Conduct themselves in a professional manner
• Provide introductions to other members

Of course not. As our focus is to build relationships and provide introductions for business-to-business referrals, we believe that you will determine your success in the group by your own participation.
