New Member Guarantee:
If a new member joins and they feel that they are not expanding their business contacts as a result of their membership after 90 days the Chamber will refund their dues.
In order to qualify for the refund the new member would have to participate in three of the five activities listed below during those 90 days. These are activities we already know work to expand business contacts and build relationships (our member’s goal) and improve engagement (CRVCC goal). There would be no refund after 90 days.
Those required activities would be:
- Attend the CRVCC New Member Orientation meeting
- Attend at least TWO morning or afternoon leads group meeting
- Attend a Business After Hours event and do their 30 second commercial
- Meet with an Ambassador or Board member once during the first 90 days. The purpose of this meeting is to verify whether the member has expanded their business contacts.
- Attend a Chamber Event
The 90 days would begin the first full month after the initial membership dues have been paid. For example, if dues were paid 4/20/18 the 90 days would begin on 5/1/18 and run through the end of July.
