Join us for your first introductory free meeting.
Entrepreneurs and business owners are welcome to join us for a maximum of two free introductory Networking Group meetings (breakfast and luncheon). After such, they can decide whether to join the Uxbridge Networking Group as a member, or pay $8 per meeting plus their meals. Without officially joining as members, they will not have the privileges as stated in the Networking Group membership other than participating at the networking meetings.

CHANGES TO MEMBERSHIP

MEMBERSHIP INCREASE AS OF APRIL 1st, 2010 from $60 per year to $85 per year for new members.
For existing members, the increase of their renewal rate from $60 to $85 will become effective as of August 1st, 2010. For member whose renewal date is before August 2010, the increase won’t be effective until their renewal in 2011. For members who attend less than 6 Networking Group meetings or functions in a year, their renewal rate will be increased from $99 to $125.

In order to fulfill and maintain expectations from our members as stated in the Networking Group Mission Statement set out in 1998:

"We share ideas, experiences and expertise in support of each other and provide cost-effective ways to promote our members' businesses throughout the Uxbridge community.  Every business member can be a contact, for word-of-mouth referrals."

1. Upon your membership renewal in 2007, your business listing will not be included on the alphabetical listing of the Uxbridge Online Business Directory at www.uxbridge.com/business. However, your business will continue to be listed under the Uxbridge Networking Group listing on the business directory and on the Uxbridge Networking Group website. Members who advertise with Uxbridge On-Line Inc. will continue to have their business listed in the alphabetical listing on www.uxbridge.com (advertisement with Uxbridge On-Line Inc. starts at $160+ per year).



2. We will start taking attendance of our members at each of our meetings starting February 2007. Upon the time for your membership renewal in 2008, we will implement the following guidelines in determining your membership rate for 2008:
   
   • Members who attend a minimum of 6 meetings/functions out of 18+ meetings/functions (e.g. Fall Fair, Christmas gathering) in 2007 will continue to pay $60 as their 2008 annual membership fee.
   
   
   
   • Members who attend less than 6 meetings/functions out of 18+ meetings/functions being held in 2007 will be charged $99 as their 2008 annual membership fee.

As the number of requests to join the Uxbridge Networking Group from businesses in neighbouring townships has grown since last September, decisions have been made through discussions at our meetings regarding the acceptance of new members from neighbouring townships.

Please note that for residents of Uxbridge Township or those operating a business in Uxbridge Township, membership will not be subject to the following rules.

• Existing member who has moved to neighbouring Township may continue to be a member. New renewal rate guideline as mentioned above will apply in 2008.



• Business from neighbouring township may join if their business is not in the same profession as any of our Active Members. The term "Active Member" meaning a member who attends at least one meeting in the past 3 months.
