Please confirm that you understand the following:
In addition to the applicable membership dues, there is a $360 fee per person to attend in-person meetings (if attending both CRC and Innovation Council, the per person fee will be $560). To attend in-person meetings via a virtual option, the fee is $275 per person. The July 2022 all-virtual meeting will be $100/pp.
The CRC and Innovation Council are non-sales zones, for individuals at a leadership and/or decision-making level. The goals are relationship building, education, and collaboration.
Professionals whose job responsibilities are solely sales/business development-related are only permitted to participate to the extent they personally have an extensive operations background and can contribute to the discussion on that level. We recognize there is educational value for sales executives to participate, but please understand that the success of these meetings depends on attendance by the right people, at the right level, every time. If members start to see an abundance of junior and/or salespeople, they will stop attending. The whole concept will fall apart.
Members gain the most value by the give and take of everyone in attendance. If some only come to take and just sit quietly, those who give will grow resentful and stop doing so. The whole concept will fall apart. Members are not expected to reveal their "secret sauce." However, we do expect sincere participation by all attendees.
