- Meetings will start and end on time.
- All information shared is confidential.
- The group has three positions which are voted upon: Chair, Treasure, and Membership.
- Operate as a “carefrontational” group, tough but fair.
- Purpose of the group is to help you increase your effectiveness and enhance your lives.
- Bring an issue to work on at each meeting.
- Group endeavors to process at least one issue each meeting.
- Each meeting has a personal and business review by each member.
- Attendance: Inform the group if you will miss a meeting and notify the chair. Email personal and business updates to group.
- If more than 3 meetings are missed, your attendance will be worked as an issue, and you will be contacted as to whether you will be allowed to stay in the group.
- Group size to be no larger than 18 people.
- Group has quarterly social events and spouse/partners are invited.
- Goals – pick 3 personal and 3 professional each year and track/report on throughout the year.
- The PSP has adopted the criteria of “no competitors” in the group. However, the goal is to encourage business Diversity.
- A member/sponsor will suggest the addition of a particular individual and make a case for and “be champion for” that person to join.
- The member will obtain a prospective member’s CV or resume and forward it to the group prior to the person attending. IF 100% positive e-mail response from the members is received by the champion/sponsor, then the prospective member may be invited to the next meeting (sponsor to so inform the membership). If 100% positive response is not received, then the prospective member will be discussed at the next regular meeting prior to being invited (4 below).
- Group will discuss in person at the next meeting whether to invite the individual to a meeting. At the meeting, we will find out detailed information about the person’s business – we will all be able to decide if he/she would be a good fit.
- If a conflict exists because a prospective member’s service “overlaps” that of an existing member, the group will not allow the individual to join.
