FAQs
Common questions, answered
Is there pressure to join?
No. Visitors come to observe. After the meeting you can ask questions and decide in your own time. You will never be pushed to commit on the day.
Can I visit more than one chapter?
Yes, many visitors attend two or three chapters before deciding which feels like the right fit for their business and schedule.
Do I need to prepare anything?
Bring some business cards if you have them and a short answer to ‘what do you do?’. That’s it. The chapter members will look after the rest.
What if my category is already filled?
Each chapter holds only one member per profession. If your category is taken in one chapter, we’ll point you to a nearby chapter where it is open.
