FAQs

How Do I Become a Member?

• Locate a hive type that is comprised of the members that offer you the best opportunity for exchanging leads. Your search results will reveal the types of businesses in each group. You must be registered to see the actual business names involved in each hive. You must be a member to receive the business contact's information.
• Check the hive schedule and choose a hive that not only has the type of members that you are interested in networking with, but that also meets at the days, times, and locations that are most conducive to your schedule.
