When joining the Leads Network, you are assigned to a leads group comprised of a maximum of 25 business people from companies in diverse industries. No competitors will be placed in the same group. Each group meets weekly to exchange business leads and hear testimonials for others whose leads have generated increased sales! Each leads group elects a moderator and is assigned a Chamber staff partner to assist the group. There is a quarterly $25 fee for participation – and members are allowed 3 absences per 6-month period. Substitutes from member companies may attend in the absence of a group member.
