Q: How do you know new members are reputable?
A: It’s word of mouth, so before they even come to a meeting they have to have spoken to someone or been invited by someone in the group. Everyone has to have a sponsor, or one is assigned to them, and they interview them.

Q: What if a member gets a referral and does poor work?
A: We have an ethics committee and it is imperative that anyone who gives a lead and finds out it was not satisfactorily handled must report that to the chapter consultant committee, who will investigate.

Q: Are member’s required to bring visitors?
A: Yes, We encouraged that you to invite visitors to help build “your” sale force for your business. Members are also required to attend ALL meeting.

Q: If I specialize in a field within my profession, am I expected to be an expert in all aspects of my profession?
A: NGBC understands that many professions have a broad understanding about their field and that people often specialize within their profession. NGBC does not expect, nor does it encourage, any professional to participate in an area in which the professional does not have expertise. On the contrary, NGBC prohibits professionals from acting outside of the scope of their abilities.
