New applicants are usually invited to one breakfast meeting as a guest to observe our organization firsthand.  If interested, an application for membership is completed. 

Current members will review and discuss the new applicant, and will determine whether or not to offer membership.
 
One reason for disapproval would be if an existing member offers a similar product or service.  
If no members disapprove or reject an applicant, then membership begins once and application has been completed, and the $200 initiation fee has been paid (fee includes the first month's dues).

Current dues are $75 per month, which pays for all weekly breakfasts.  Dues can be drafted (preferred method), paid quarterly or annually.
