  2. Exclusivity: Only one person per business specialty is allowed per chapter.

  7. Local Meetup Attendance: Members are required to attend the quarterly social gatherings organized by the Meetup Committee to build stronger professional bonds.
  8. Solicitation: Membership lists are for referrals only. Unsolicited “cold” marketing to the list is prohibited.
  9. Be kind and courteous: We’re all in this together to create a welcoming environment. Let’s treat everyone with respect. Healthy debates are natural, but kindness is required.
  10. No hate speech or bullying: Make sure everyone feels safe. Bullying of any kind isn’t allowed, and degrading comments about things like race, religion, culture, sexual orientation, gender or identity will not be tolerated.
  11. Respect everyone’s privacy: Being part of this group requires mutual trust. Authentic, expressive discussions make groups great, but may also be sensitive and private. What’s shared in the group should stay in the group.
