Committing To Each Other

Since we are so close to beginning the new year, what better time is there to re-commit to all of your fellow chapter members? Re-commit to:
  • Attending your meetings regularly
  • Giving referrals to each other
  • Attending outside networking events so that you may better refer to others
In my own chapter, I've borrowed some of the ideas from others (thanks to Dean Curry) and created two documents that I will actively use this year. One is for new member applicants. At the third meeting that a guest attends, they will be asked to complete a short questionnaire and address questions. Basically, what can you bring to the table as a new member and how can we support you in your business? Here is a copy of the document.


We also want existing members to renew their commitment to the success of the chapter in 2008. A similar commitment letter will be in place for all existing members. Here is a copy of the letter:

If everyone invests in each other in 2008, we can make it the best year ever for giving referrals, building our own businesses, and helping others succeed. If anyone would like a copy of either document to use in their own chapters, please contact me and I'll be glad to send to you via email.

Happy Holidays!
