Membership Requirements

Members are Marketing, Sales, or General Management executives whose primary focus is marketing. Membership is generally initiated via colleague and peer referrals. 

As high-level executives, we are protective of our database and member data.  As a result, we do not admit recruiters to our membership.  However, we do encourage recruiters to work with us to help place qualified members who are in transition.  We have a section of our website open to recruiters, reachable from our home page or directly by clicking here.
