Jersey Village Professional Networking Group: Policies and Procedures
Dated as of: Dec 10, 2018
The Jersey Village Professional Networking Group (JVPNG) is a non-exclusive and membership-fee free organization focused primarily on the Northwest Harris County, Texas area. JVPNG strikes a balance between social and professional networking to create a high energy environment that promotes greater fellowship among members and fosters ongoing business relationships. With the rapid growth in weekly attendance from half a dozen people upon inception in June of 2013, to in excess of 50 weekly attendees. In implementing this group structure it is necessary to define membership, outline how it is attained as well as maintained.
JVPNG deals primarily in the currency of visibility, and like any valuable resource, it must be managed wisely.
Membership Benefits:
Attaining Membership: There will be 3 clear-cut categories:
Grandfathered members:
Complete a membership application (https://jvpng.com/online-application/)
Must attend 5 of 6 meetings in a row after submitting their application.
Complete a One-On-One with Brad Kellam, Gilbert Castillo, Mark Prehoda, Rick Jones and Dwayne Johnson within the first 6 weeks of meeting attendance.
If we all agree that they are a fit then we will formally announce their membership at the next meeting they attend.
Purchase a JVPNG membership badge.
Maintaining membership:
Attendance at the weekly JVPNG luncheon and outside events are integral to making the group work, but perfect attendance is not expected. However, regular membership status will require a high level of participation.
Members who miss 6 consecutive lunch meetings or miss lunch 3 meetings a month for 3 consecutive months will be considered inactive. Members may send a substitute to represent their business as needed to avoid an absence.
Must attend at least 2 meetings a month, although we want more of course. Can send substitutes
A move to the inactive list comes with a delisting from the directory, ineligibility of visibility opportunities, and forfeiture of their spot in categories considered at capacity. Inactive members will have to reapply. Leadership will be more proactive in managing at capacity categories if a trend of absences by a member or excessive substitutions are noted. MULTI-LEVEL MARKETING: Multi-level marketing members of JVPNG should represent their products and services in JVPNG, not the business opportunity element of their business.Accusations of misconduct will be brought to the attention of the leadership team and handled privately. Disputes between members are never to be discussed at our weekly luncheons or events.
Members will now be limited to representing only one business which must be their primary occupation and not a part-time job.
