In order to become a member of the B2B group, all prospective members are required to complete the following:

1. Attend x3 consecutive fortnightly meetings
2. Conduct x3 one on one meetings with current B2B members
3. Meet with any member that may occupy the same/or similar service space, discussing respective offerings in order to gain information and decide whether synergy is possible or whether an overlap would occur.

Once the prospective member has completed the above, it will be agreed by the leadership team, whether it is believed they can contribute in a positive and meaningful way. If yes, they will then be added as a member to the Members Contact List and they in turn will receive this list.

• 8.55 – 9.00am: wrap up and any upcoming events

• If any member cannot make the fortnightly meeting the Chairperson or Secretary must be advised by midday on the Wednesday before the meeting. The member needs to advise the number of referrals they have given and/or one on one meetings during the fortnight.
• An absence of three consecutive meetings will mean a member can be replaced at the discretion of remaining members.
• The Chairperson and Secretary roles are rotated amongst the members every 6 months..
• The Deputy Chairperson, who was previously the Chairperson, fills in for the Chairperson if the Chairperson is absent.
• The Secretary maintains an up-to-date list of members and the attendance record, referrals given and one on one meetings.
