| Our Guide For Membership |
|
PRO's membership guidelines allow for only one person from each professional classification or specialty, with all our members representing only one primary occupation.
If a member representing a particular profession leaves the group, another person from that profession may join.
By limiting our membership, we can provide our members with unparalleled assurance that they will not be competing among one another for similar referrals.
We provide an opportunity at every meeting for our members to introduce themselves and describe their businesses. |
|

|
| Member Requirements |
|
To maximize the possibilities available through sustained networking, we hold weekly meetings and ask that our members participate actively.
If members are unable to attend
any scheduled meeting, a substitute
may attend. If a member cannot
attend or send a substitute, a
PRO officer or member of the Membership
Committee needs to be informed.
If a member misses three consecutive
meetings in a quarter and fails
to inform a PRO representative,
that member will be dropped from
the membership rolls. A new business
professional from that business
category will be asked to join.
Membership is NOT transferable. |

| PRO Code of Business Conduct and Ethics |
| |
| Shaking
hands, and gentlemen's agreement
was a way of sealing a deal
without cumbersome paperwork
and the expense of having
a lawyer draw up a formal
contract. In those tender
days of yore, a man's (person's)
word was sacred, and could
be relied on. |

PRO’s General Standards of Conduct |

| PRO expects its members to abide by these general standards when conducting business with other PRO members: |
|
|
Honesty – Be completely honest and refrain from engaging in any manipulation, concealment, deception or misrepresentation of any kind. |
|
Integrity – Do what is right and ethical, and deliver what has been promised. |
|
Respect and Equality – Treat everyone with dignity and refrain from engaging in or tolerating harassment or discrimination of any kind, especially any based on race, color, ethnicity, religion, gender, age, disability and veteran or marital status. |

| PRO’s Commitment to Quality |
|
PRO utilizes an ethics committee to settle any disruptions that may arise in the event that a PRO member performs unacceptable work. It is imperative that anyone who gives a lead and discovers that the business transaction was not satisfactorily handled must report this information to the Executive Director, who will then review it and pass it along for investigation if warranted. |
|

|
| PRO’s Protection Promise |
|
Members of PRO agree to protect PRO property. This involves a commitment to protect the assets and property of PRO, including its member email addresses, personal information and any information shared during meetings. |
